VGP14C:
Using Computational Thermodynamics to Model Natural Systems: Recent Advances and Challenges for the Future II Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session

Session ID#: 6078

Session Description:
Computational thermodynamic modelling has become a mainstay research tool and complex chemical equilibria can now be calculated in systems of geological interest. Results of such calculations are frequently employed in igneous petrology to determine the fusion and crystallization paths followed by magmas, in metamorphic petrology to estimate the equilibrium temperature and pressure of mineral assemblages, and in geochemistry to assess fluid-rock interactions, amongst others. This session seeks to bring together researchers involved in the experimental determination or optimization of phase diagrams and physical and thermodynamic properties of melts, minerals and fluids, as well as their users in the full diversity of natural and industrial applications of such data and models. Contributions linked to the development of (internally-consistent) thermodynamic databases and software are also very welcome.
