Multicomponent Diffusion Modeling of Garnet: a Tool To Estimate Burial and Exhumation Rate of Metamorphic Complexes

The occurrence of high-pressure rocks, mainly preservation and formation of concentration gradient within garnet or at its contact with other minerals provide evidence for the geodynamic processes of subduction and exhumation of crustal material within orogenic belts. With combination of the results from experimental data on diffusion coefficients and thermobarometric analyses from natural material, the measured concentration profiles in mineral can be used to estimate burial and exhumation rates of rock underwent high-pressure metamorphism. Diffusion modeling is based on definition of initial and boundary conditions, diffusion coefficients and the P-T-t history over which the diffusion ...
