PyIRoGlass

PyIRoGlass is a Bayesian MCMC-founded Python algorithm, written in the open-source language Python3, for determining $\mathrm{H_2O}$ and $\mathrm{CO_2}$ species concentrations in the transmission FTIR spectra of basaltic to andesitic glasses. We leverage a database of naturally degassed melt inclusions and back-arc basin basalts to delineate the fundamental shape and variability of the baseline underlying the $\mathrm{CO_{3}^{2-}}$ and $\mathrm{H_2O_{m, 1635}}$ peaks, in the mid-infrared region. PyIRoGlass employs Bayesian inference and Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling to fit all probable baselines and peaks, solving for best-fit parameters and capturing covariance to offer robust uncertainty estimates.
