Saffy/Sophia 🌟🌈 PhD student @KU_leuven 🏞️⚗️ Experimental petrologist studying alkaline magmas🌋🔬 she/her

Thrilled to share that my first paper was published today 🎉 We performed low pressure experiments on 9 alkaline compositions, at a wide range of redox conditions, and used this data to calibrate new equations for estimating equilibrium Kd(Fe-Mg) for Ol-melt & Cpx-melt in alkaline systems

Phase equilibria and liquid lines of descent in alkali basalts at one atmosphere and the role of oxygen fugacity - Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology

This study presents new experimental data on the effect of oxygen fugacity (fO2) and bulk composition on phase equilibria and liquid lines of descent in alkali basalts. Crystallisation experiments wer...
