Methods papers (cite when using CALLIOPE)
If you use CALLIOPE in published work, please cite the following three methods papers, which together describe (i) the original mass-balance + Henry's law framework, (ii) the multi-species redox-coupled extension, and (iii) the magma-ocean evolution context that defined the present species set.
