Inclusion deformation triggers fractures in the host In her recent paper Marta Morana and co-authors stumbled on the least expected behavior for quartz inclusions trapped in garnet while exploring their behavior at high temperature conditions...
Read moreShort Course on Equations of State
The course will provide research students with an understanding of the theory of Equations of State of solids and the methods to critically analyse data to determine the parameters of EoS. On completion of the course students will be able to...
Read moreHow does recorded temperature changes upon impact shock?
How does recorded temperature changes upon impact shock? Anna Barbaro and co-authors estimated temperature by a graphite-thermometer based on micro-raman spectroscopy data, on 5 ureilitic fragments (FRO 95028, FRO 01089, FRO 97013, FRO 01088 and...
Read moreAre you working with mixed-phase inclusions?
Are you working with mixed-phase inclusions? Ross J. Angel and co-authors finally provide the recipes to work out the elastic response of mixed-phase inclusions. Their study published in the European Journal of Mineralogy presents the theory of...
Read moreFirst high-pressure laboratory experiment on host-inclusion systems
First high-pressure laboratory experiment on host-inclusion systems In his new manuscript Nicola Campomenosi describes the results of the first laboratory experiments where quartz in garnet host-inclusion systems have investigated under high...
Read moreAnother chapter of the Dora-Maira massif, Western Alps
Elastic thermobarometry of ultrahigh-pressure metapelites from the Brossasco Isasca unit (Dora-Maira Massif, Western Alps) In her first paper Giulia Mingardi applied zircon-in-garnet (ZiG) and chemical thermobarometry to garnet-bearing...
