Geobarometry of olivine-bearing igneous rocks:

This software allows calculating pressure of formation of igneous rocks using the multiple-reaction approach outlined in Ziberna, Green, Blundy (2017, American Mineralogist). See the readme file for details and instructions. Available only for MAC. If you work on a Windows system, you can perform the same calculations using THERMOCALC directly (see Ziberna, Green, Blundy 2017 for instructions). Download the software.
