Abstract

Olive 2.0.1, is a simple calculator for fractional crystallization. Unlike MELTS, Olive does not have a thermodynamic model behind so it does not calculate what phases are crystallizing form a given melt at a given pressure and temperature. Rather, it calculates the changes in the composition of the melt given that the fractionated minerals and their proportions are a priori known. A pdf document with a basic manual can be downloaded from here.
