    This document discusses several geothermobarometry techniques used to determine pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions in geology, including: 1) The garnet-biotite exchange geothermometer, which uses the partitioning of Fe and Mg between garnet and biotite to determine temperature. 2) The GASP geobarometer, which calculates pressure based on the volume change of a garnet-biotite pair. 3) Other geobarometers such as GRIPS and those using sphalerite composition. 4) The application of multiple geothermobarometers like garnet-biotite/GASP to reconstruct P-T-t paths and determine conditions

    Partioning of Fe, Mg with Temperature:


    The Garnet-Biotite Geothermometer
    Fe, Mg have similar ionic radii, therefore volume change small
