*************************************************************************** From: Kelly Russell <krussell@xxxxxxxxxx> *************************************************************************** Dear Colleagues: This is to inform you of an internet resource to compute the viscosity of natural silicate melts as a function of composition and temperature. The calculations are based on the recently published model in: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Giordano, G Russell JK Dingwell DB (2008) Viscosity of magmatic liquids: A model. Earth & Planetary Science Letters, 271, 123-134. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With the aid of of our colleague Terry Gordon we have created a web-site: http://www.eos.ubc.ca/about/faculty/K.Russell.html to support this publication. The web site provides an introduction to the model as well as the following services: A) An html link to the published manuscript. B) Downloadable Files: - electronic supplement that provides ancillary information. - EXCEL spreadsheet prepared for computing viscosity for your melt compositions [send an email if you wish MATLAB scripts for same viscosity calculations]. C) An On-Line calculator that will return melt viscosity parameters and viscosity-temperature relationships from your own melt compositions as cut-and-pasted into the web page. We hope that you find this site useful and welcome feedback and suggestions. With best wishes Kelly Russell (UBC) & Terry Gordon (UBC) Daniele Giordano & Don Dingwell (Univ. of Rome) (Univ. of Munich) ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
