A figure that shows the documentation of natural metamorphic mineral growth rates that now agree with laboratory experiments; determined using innovative analytical, modeling, and software tools. From: Liu et al (2025) Ultra-fast metamorphic reaction during regional metamorphism. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta.
Pierre Lanari (Univ. Lausanne), a Mineralogical Society of America @mineralsocamerica.bsky.social Distinguished Lecturer, presented advancements in constraining the rates of metamorphic reactions, enabled by clever application of element mapping, diffusion […]
