Geobarometry in Granulites

  • Chapter
Kinetics and Equilibrium in Mineral Reactions

Part of the book series: Advances in Physical Geochemistry ((PHYSICAL GEOCHE,volume 3))

Abstract

It is apparent from the initial attempts at quantitative tectonic modeling of regional metamorphism (England and Richardson, 1977; Wells, 1980) that a detailed knowledge of metamorphic pressure is essential to the accurate formulation of any tectonic model attempting to incorporate metamorphic pressure—temperature—time relationships. There is, therefore, a need for pressure data of greater accuracy and precision than has been available. Of greatest importance is knowledge not only of the so-called peak metamorphic pressures but also regional variations in the inferred maximum pressures, as well as the prograde and retrograde pressure path of rocks, especially of those that were once buried to the deepest levels of the crust. Unfortunately, at least some of the information necessary to infer the prograde metamorphic path is destroyed by the metamorphic process itself, although in a few terranes, limited data on the prograde pressure-temperature path can be inferred (e.g., Tracy et al., 1976; Phillips and Wall, 1981). Ability to infer such data depends in part on availability of numerous well-calibrated geobarometers applicable in a variety of bulk compositions.
