Although many formulations of plagioclase + liquid equilibria have been calibrated in the last decade, few models specifically address the issue of temperature (T) prediction. Moreover, for those that do, T error is not addressed, greatly limiting their use as geothermometers. Several recent models of plagioclase-liquid equilibria are thus tested for their ability to recover T from their calibration data, and predict T from experiments not used for calibration. The models of Sugawara (2001) and Ghiorso et al. (1995, 2002) outperform earlier calibrations. These models per-form reasonably well at T > 1100 degreesC, though recovery and prediction of T is less precise for hydrous compositions. In addition, these models cannot be integrated with geo-hygrometers, or other mineral-melt thermometers and barometers; the following expression predicts T with p to 40% greater precision: [GRAPHICS] Because these thermometers are pressure (P) sensitive, a temperature-sensitive barometer was also developed: [GRAPHICS] In these models, T is in Kelvins and P is in kbar. An(pl) and Ab(pl) are the fractions of anorthite and albite in plagioclase, calculated as cation fractions: An = CaO/(CaO + NaO0.5 + KO0.5) and Ab = Na-0.5/(CaO+NaO0.5+KO0.5). Terms such as Al-liq refer to the anhydrous cation fraction of Al in the liquid; H2O in Equation 1 is in units of wt%. Errors on these models are comparable to those for clinopyroxene thermobarometers: In Equation 1, R = 0.99 and the standard error of estimate (SEE) is 23 K; for Equation 2, R = 0.94 and the SEE is 1.8 kbar. The models successfully recover mean pressures for experimental data that are not used for calibration, and are furthermore able to recover near-1-atm P estimates for volcanic rocks from Kilauea, Hawaii, which are thought to have crystallized at or very near Earth's surface.
