Tracing fluid-rock interaction using boron

What is it about?

We show how the combination of thermodynamic and trace element forward modeling can be used in metamorphic petrology to improve our understanding of the geological processes operating. We illustrate the capacities of our approach based on two examples relevant to mass transfer during metamorphism. The combined thermodynamic-geochemical modeling approach successfully models fluid-rock interaction during metamorphism and fluid release in a subduction zone.
