If these processes can be measured in the laboratory, and their behavior confidently extrapolated to geological time scales, it becomes possible to construct a forward model of the system that predicts how a given instance of it will evolve assuming a particular starting arrangement and subsequent time-temperature history. Once a forward model has been created and verified, it then becomes possible to apply it in the inverse sense: given a...
