plag (Version 1.0.0)

June 26, 2026

plag is a tool for conducting diffusion chronometry modeling in plagioclase feldspar. It contains many functions designed to calculate partition coefficients, diffusion coefficients, and set up diffusion models using common finite difference methods. It has a sophisticated monte carlo error propagation system to accurately obtain uncertainties on model timescales, and a way of easily reporting all requisite information from modeling that can be included as supplementary material in publications.
