Fractionation of oxygen isotopes between minerals: a powerful tool for thermometry and investigating fluid-rock interaction

DBOXYGEN is an internally consitent database for oxygen isotope fractionation factors. It includes fractionation factors for most of the major and accessory phases and allows mineral assemblages to be considered, rather than individual mineral couples.

ThermoOx is a MATLAB-based software developed for an effective use of the database DBOXYGEN for thermometry and uncertainty calculation.

PTloop is a MATLAB-based computer program that combines thermodynamic and oxygen isotope fractionation modelling for multi-rock open systems.
