updated databases
Posted: 28 Oct 2015, 15:14
Hi Folks,
I was wondering if anyone had a version of the database used in Holland et al., 2012, or Jennings and Holland, 2015 (refs below) focused on mantle phases that will work in theriak-domino? I have been meaning to build this file for some time but have not had the time to impliment it as the translation from thermocalc files toTD files is pretty time consuming (if you don't code). Also, does any one know of efforts to update the TD database with new thermodynamic data as it becomes avalible? This is a big job and one that that the thermocalc community seems to do well. Although any of us can alter the databases, I fear that this could lead to apples and oranges situations when comparing results using differently constructed databases.
Cheers,
Chris Andronicos
