Petrolog4 Tutorials

Tutorials published on this page are a supplement to the Petrolog4 manual, and are designed to assist users with understanding the features of the user interface that are focused on customising Petrolog4 for the needs and preferences of each user.

Some of the tutorials are linked to frequently asked questions.

Setting D values for trace elements; I

This video describes the basics of defining values of distribution coefficients (D) for trace elements, to be used during calculations.

Setting D values for trace elements; II

This video describes how Petrolog handles D values for trace elements that are incorporated into the selected phase-melt equilibrium models.

Setting Phase-Melt Models; I

This video describes how to set phase - silicate melt equilibrium models for calculations in Petrolog, and how to save calculation parameters to a file for future use.

Setting Phase-Melt Models; II

This video describes how to set corrections to the pseudo-liquidus temperatures calculated by phase - silicate melt equilibrium models developed for the anhydrous conditions for the effect of H2O in the melt.
