An Experimental Investigation of Reactive Melt Channelization in Partially Molten Rocks

Mechanical, microstructural and chemical data from experiments on reactive melt migration. Each zip file contains all data from the specific experiment that were collected (optical images, scanning electron microscope images, microCT reconstructions, electron microprobe data). Master metadata table is provided with all details about the performed experiments. Experiment number corresponds to zip file number. Further information about the dataset is contained in the following publications:
