TitaniQ under pressure: the effect of pressure and temperature on the solubility of Ti in quartz (2010, background): “There are limited experimental and empirical data that have explored the pressure effect on the Ti-inzircon thermometer (Ferry and Watson 2007).”
Ti-in-zircon thermometry: applications and limitations (2008, methodology): “…Tanzania, was found to contain a zircon with *110 ppm Ti, the highest concentration yet reported in a terrestrial zircon (Watson et al. 2006), although when corrected for reduced a SiO 2 the Ti-temperature of this zircon is not consistent with independent thermometry (Ferry and Watson 2007).”
A thermobarometer for sphene (titanite) (2008, methodology): “However, given plausible lower limits of aTiO2 ¼ 0:5 and aSiO2 ¼ 0:5 in typical crustal rocks (Hayden and Watson 2007; Ferry and Watson 2007 ), the maximum likely overestimate of T would be *75� C for conditions representing a typical rhyolite (700� C, 0.1 GPa) and *50� for a range of metamorphic c”
The pressure dependence of the zirconium‐in‐rutile thermometer (2007, methodology): “The calibration based on these data has been put on a firmer thermodynamic footing by Ferry & Watson (2007), using the reaction between mineral end-members, ZrSiO4 ¼ ZrO2 (in rutile) + SiO2 (see also, Degeling, 2003), and as also used below.”
