The acronym QAPF stands for "Quartz, Alkali feldspar, Plagioclase, Feldspathoid ", which are the four mineral groups used for classification in a QAPF diagram. The percentages of the Q, A, P and F groups are normalized, i.e., recalculated so that th...

Here goes my #introduction! Hi all, I am a #geologist specializing in #petrology, #geochemistry and #volcanology both from analytical and #experimental perspectves. Now I study several eruptions in #Tenerife and #LaPalma, #Canary Islands. Although originally from northern Spain, I've spent most of my career between Italy and Germany. I am also into amateur #astronomy, and in fact you can expect some astrophotos here from time to time. I will post in #English, #Spanish and perhaps some #Italian!
