pseudosection

New versions of THERMOCALC are included here (for mac (tc351), win (tc51.exe) and linux (tc517L)). These may be used with the updated and corrected version of the melt model (see Green, ECR, Holland, TJB, Powell, R, Weller, OM, & Riel, N (2025). Journal of Petrology, doi: XXXXXX. for details).

You will need to put thermocalc and all files it needs in the same folder before running.

A new dataset tc-636 is included here with example files for

1) RE46 (anhydrous) -- with brief tutorial. Note that the original paper showed a simplified pseudosection intended to compare with the experiments. A more complete version including opx and garnet is included here (RE46_full.pdf).

2) Whitney granite (hydrous).

Note that these examples and tutorial have not been updated and will differ in detail when used with the updated model.
