Journal ArticleDOI
Activity–composition relations for the calculation of partial melting equilibria in metabasic rocks
Eleanor C. R. Green,Richard White,Johann F.A. Diener,Roger Powell,Tim Holland,Richard M. Palin +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of thermodynamic models for partial melting equilibria for metabasic rocks is presented, consisting of new activity composition relations combined with end-member thermodynamic properties from the Holland & Powell dataset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying geological uncertainty in metamorphic phase equilibria modelling; a Monte Carlo assessment and implications for tectonic interpretations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the relative importance of geology uncertainty related to natural petrographic variation at the hand sample-and/or thin section-scale on the sample's bulk composition, which is the primary control on its equilibrium phase relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secular change and the onset of plate tectonics on Earth
Richard M. Palin,M. Santosh,M. Santosh,Wentao Cao,Shan-Shan Li,David Hernández-Uribe,A. J. Parsons +6 more
TL;DR: A review of evidence for paleo-subduction preserved within the geological record, with a focus on metamorphic rocks and the geodynamic information that can be derived from them is provided in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-grade metamorphism and partial melting of basic and intermediate rocks
Richard M. Palin,Richard White,Eleanor C. R. Green,Johann F.A. Diener,Roger Powell,Tim Holland +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, phase diagrams calculated in the Na2O−CaO−K2O-FeO-MgO-Al2O3−SiO2-H2O•TiO2−O2 (NCKFMASHTO) compositional system for a range of natural basic and intermediate bulk compositions for conditions of 2-12kbar and 600-1050 ǫ c using newly parameterized activity-composition relationships detailed in a companion paper by Green et al.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partial melting of metabasic rocks and the generation of tonalitic–trondhjemitic–granodioritic (TTG) crust in the Archaean: Constraints from phase equilibrium modelling
TL;DR: In this paper, phase equilibrium modelling has been performed for an enriched Archaean tholeiite bulk composition, a suggested protolith for early Earth TTG magmas, using newly parameterised thermodynamic models that were specifically developed to evaluate the anatectic behaviour of metabasalt.
