Workshop MAGEMin Nicolas Riel

Understanding multi-phase, compositionally evolving systems requires the ability to predict stable mineral assemblages and fluid/melt compositions as bulk chemistry changes through time. Static
parameterisations or lookup tables cannot capture this evolving behaviour. In this workshop, I present an updated version of our Gibbs-energy–minimisation package, MAGEMin, which enables fully
dynamic simulations of magmatic and metamorphic systems using thermodynamic models suitable for both arc magmas and pelitic crustal rocks. Through its Julia wrapper, MAGEMin_C, the package delivers fast, parallel pointwise calculations and can be easily coupled to petrological, thermal, and thermomechanical models.

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)
