Why did we develop PetThermoTools?

A short introduction to the motivation behind developing PetThermoTools

Coming soon!

Installation help 

This video walks you through how to install PetThermoTools on MAC

Example fractional crystallization calculation 

This video shows how to perform a fractional crystallization calculation and compare it to measured melt inclusion and matrix glass data

Example Fractional crystallization calculation comparing MELTS and MAGEMin 

This video builds on the fractional crystallization model above, showing how to compare the results of different thermodynamic models, with a focus on the chemistry of predicted mineral phases.

Example degassing calculation 

This video shows how to track volatile and melt chemistry during degassing.

Example Phase Diagram Calculation 

This video shows how to make a phase diagram for a primitive Mauna Loa lava using MAGEMin and MELTS, based on https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-025-01869-2
