Refinement of geothermobarometry for cordierite granulites

Abstract

Refined geothermobarometers are presented for cordierite granulites. The refinement was achieved by using internally consistent thermodynamic datasets. Improved calibrations have been demonstrated for a number of granulite areas. Also, the usefulness of the improved geobarometer in identifying decompression paths has been discussed. © 1993 Indian Academy of Sciences.
