An exact solution to the problem in elastic geobarometry of combining non-linear Equations of State (EoS) with the elastic relaxation for elastically isotropic spherical host-inclusion systems without any approximations of linear elasticity is...

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...
