Baydiff: Bayesian diffusion chronometry for volcanic systems

September 25, 2024

Diffusion chronometry is a powerful tool for estimating the time scales of magmatic processes. This MATLAB software can be used to estimate diffusion time scales using the forsterite content of olivine crystals. Estimates are obtained probabilistically, using a Bayesian framework, and account for uncertainties in data as well as any independent (prior) information.
