EMC – 2016 – WORKSHOP
16/09/2016
30€Solid inclusions in minerals as records of geological processes
Recent developments in experiment and theory allow the stress state in solid mineral inclusions to be measured accurately and precisely. This allows the measured stress states to be interpreted as entrapment conditions, thus identifying P-T points in the rock history. The methods involve non-linear elasticity as an extension of classical elasticity theory and are complex. The workshop will teach the principles of host-inclusion elasticity, its assumptions and limitations in its current form, and the methods for determining the stress state in and around inclusions. Hands-on exercises with the EosFit software will teach participants how to perform calculations to determine inclusion pressures and entrapment conditions.
The workshop is designed for research students, post-docs and faculty in metamorphic and mantle petrology. No prior knowledge of elasticity, mineral physics or Equations of State is required. All of the necessary concepts for elastic barometry will be introduced in the workshop.
