Workshop MAGEMin Nicolas Riel

« Understanding how rocks melt, deform, and evolve within Earth’s interior is a central challenge in geoscience. These processes span a wide range of spatial and temporal scales and are governed by complex interactions between temperature, pressure, composition, and phase stability. Capturing this complexity in numerical models requires integrating mineral thermodynamics directly into geodynamic modeling frameworks. MAGEMin (Mineral Assemblage Gibbs Energy Minimization) is designed to meet this need. It’s an open-source software package that calculates phase equilibria in multi-component systems by minimizing the Gibbs free energy of the system. Developed in C for maximum speed (Riel et al., 2022) and interfaced in Julia for flexibility, MAGEMin is built to interface with geodynamic models, offering a high-performance solution for simulating deep Earth processes. » (https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/gd/2025/07/23/simulating-the-deep-earth-with-magemin-a-toolkit-for-thermodynamic-modeling-in-geodynamics/)

This workshop will capture an introduction into the possible applications of the software (Monday morning), as well as a deeper hands-on part where participants can explore the functionalities independently, guided by the expert (Monday afternoon and Tuesday)
