A New Plagioclase-Liquid Hygrometer Specific to Trachytic Systems

We present a new empirical plagioclase-liquid hygrometer for estimating the amount of H<sub>2</sub>O dissolved in trachytic magmas. The hygrometer is based on the exchange reaction of anorthite between plagioclase and liquid, and is calibrated using crystallization experiments where the...
