Abstract
EntraPT is a web-based application for elastic geobarometry freely
accessible at the “Fiorenzo Mazzi” experimental mineralogy lab website
(www.mineralogylab.com/software). It provides an easy-to-use tool to
calculate inclusion pressures with error propagation from the residual
strain measured in mineral inclusions. EntraPT establishes a method and
a workflow to import and analyze the measured residual strains,
correctly calculate the mean stress in the inclusions, compute the
entrapment isomekes with uncertainty estimation, and visualize all the
results in relevant graphs. It enables the many possible errors arising
from manual handling of the data and from the numerous steps required in
geobarometry calculations to be avoided. All of the data, parameters and
settings are stored in a consistent format and can be exported as
project files and spreadsheets, and imported back to EntraPT for further
analysis. This allows researchers to store and/or share their data
easily, making the checking and the comparison of data and results
reliable. EntraPT is an online tool that does not require any download
and/or installation, and it will be updated in the future with new
functionalities made available from advances in the development of
elastic geobarometry.
