Continuous phase transitions in minerals, such as the α–β transition in quartz, can give rise to very large non-linear variations in their volume and density with temperature and pressure. In Angel et al 2017 we present a simplified description...

In her manuscript Sula Milani provides for the first time consistent the thermo-elastic parameters for grossular garnet using simultaneous fitting of pressure-volume-temperature data combined with either adiabatic (KS) or isothermal bulk modulus...
Read moreSESSION 06C Geodynamicists, structural geologists, petrologists and mineralogists are driven by the same essential curiosity about processes affecting the Earth’s crust and lithosphere, and use different tools to understand these processes. If...
Read moreWe are pleased to announce the fourth international diamond school, which will be held in Bressanone (Italy) between January 29th and February 2nd 2018. The school will provide a general overview of the recent advances in diamond research. In...
