Abstract In order to reconcile petrological and geophysical observations of magmatic processes in the temporal domain, the uncertainties in diffusion timescales need to be rigorously assessed. Here, we present a new diffusion chronometry method: Diffusion chronometry using Finite Elements and Nested...
