What Does TAI Stand For?
TAI stands for Thermal Alteration Index
The Thermal Alteration Index (TAI) is a geochemical metric used to assess the degree of thermal metamorphism in sedimentary rocks. By analyzing mineral assemblages and their thermal history, TAI provides insights into the temperature and duration of heat exposure, aiding in the interpretation of geological processes and the evolution of thermal environments.
