Abstract submissions are open for our conference.

…early results of multicomponent diffusion modelling in polyphasic garnet – here showing some sweet uphill diffusion of almandine. Yellow dots are the EMPA data, red is the presumed initial composition and blue is the model.

📣💥 Do you like thermochronology applied to metamorphic rocks? Then you might be interested in this numerical modelling study published in GEOLOGY exploring exothermic reactions and their effects on the Ar-system. Teaser: hydration causes younging! pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/ar…

New research article: Halogen-bearing metasomatizing melt preserved in high-pressure (HP) eclogites of Pfaffenberg, Bohemian Massif doi.org/10.5194/ejm-36…

🔥 Looking forward to an exciting and interesting workshop and a few days full of discussions about melt and fluid inclusions with Silvio Ferrero! 🏔🔬Come and join us next Monday, 18 March @geoGoettingen #metamorphism #petrology #meltinclusions #fluidinclusions

📢The upcoming "Granulites & Granulites" international conference, centered on high-temperature processes in the middle and lower crust, is scheduled to take place in Verbania, Italy, from September 3rd to 6th, 2024 🇮🇹. Registration is now open!⬇️ granulites2024.sfmc-fr.org

Just arrived in Magdeburg for this year's Network Meeting of the Humboldt-Stiftung - really grateful to be here and to have this opportunity! Looks like an exciting chance to connect with the many Humboldt fellows hailing from various research disciplines! 💥

🌡️Want to explore thermal histories of exhuming rock piles or a freezing lava lake? Then check out T1dH to calculate 1D temperature evolution for geoscientific applications. Includes radiogenic heating, advection and latent heat! #EnthalpyMethod #MATLAB zenodo.org/records/110465…

📢 New Research Alert! Our latest paper provides a novel hypothesis that explains the vast & economically important enrichment of chromium relative to other compatible elements in the RLS of the Bushveld Complex: doi.org/10.1007/s00126… #geotwitter Faculty of Science SU Earth Sciences

💥Make more of your Zr-in-titanite thermobarometry with ZirTiDiS! Retrieve quantitative estimates on the cooling histories and -rates recorded by your rocks, depending on grain size and user-specified activities of TiO2 & SiO2. #ZiTtemperature #MATLAB zenodo.org/records/111840…

❄️1D-simulation of the Štefan Problem, modeling the freezing of water. Studied by J. Štefan in the 19th century, it highlights the importance of latent heat involved in phase changes. This process is also key in geological phenomena like magma solidification and crystal growth!

📢#newpaperalert🚨 Hey #garnetlovers In this new article we show how U-Pb in-situ dating of garnet can be used to solve long standing debates. In the archetypal lower crust of Ivrea Zone we dated granulitic garnet with U as low as 4 ng/g! Check it out academic.oup.com/petrology/adva…

🌋 Simple 2D Stokes flow code simulating a falling sphere in a linear viscous fluid—applicable to Earth materials that behave like a fluid over geological timescales. 🌍💧 #Geoscience #Rheology #FluidDynamics #EarthScience

... geodynamic modelling sometimes gives funny results. Trying to get some continental collision going, but not quite there yet 🏔️👀

"Cool geophysics! 🌍 In 1981, Dziewonski & Anderson introduced the Preliminary Earth Model (PREM), based on seismic data, experiments, & modeling. It shows Earth's radial density, linking mass, gravity, & pressure to depth (assuming a sphere). Groundbreaking! #EarthScience"

🔥 Upgrade on the falling sphere code: this simulation couples incompressible Navier-Stokes with temperature-dependent density & viscosity—key to modeling mantle convection, magma dynamics, and lithospheric deformation. #Geophysics #Geodynamics #CFD

More on the falling sphere simulation: a coupled thermomechanical code using dimensionless Stokes-, heat advection & -diffusion equations to simulate realistic convection dynamics in the Earth’s mantle. 🌍🔥 #Geophysics #MantleConvection #Modelling
