Quantitative vorticity analyses in naturally deformed rocks are essential for studying the
kinematics of flow in shear zones and can be performed using a range of methods, which …

Melt transfer and migration occurs through both supra-and sub-solidus rocks. Mechanisms
of melt transfer include dyking, mobile hydrofracturing and diffuse porous melt flow where …

Cretaceous plutons of the eastern Peninsular Ranges batholith and the Separation Point
suite of New Zealand represent major fluxes of relatively high Na, Sr, and low Y heavy rare …

Regional metamorphism occurs in plate boundary zones. Accretionary orogenic systems
form at subduction boundaries in the absence of continent collision, whereas collisional …

We investigate the temporal record of magmatism in the Fiordland sector of the Median
Batholith (New Zealand) with the goal of evaluating models for cyclic and episodic patterns …

Progressive vapour‐absent partial melting of a closed rock system increases melt pressure
due to an expansion in the volume of the mineral plus melt assemblage. For a locally closed …

It is generally accepted that the subduction polarity reversal (SPR) results from the strong
collision of two plates. Yet, the SPR of the Solomon Back‐arc Basin is started in the “soft …

Bulk-rock data are commonly used in geochemical studies as a proxy for melt compositions
in order to understand the evolution of crustal melts. However, processes of crystal …

This paper provides a comprehensive description of the plutonic rocks of western Fiordland
between Breaksea and Sutherland Sounds. The area is dominated by the Early Cretaceous …

Geochemical signatures throughout the layered Earth require significant mass transfer
through the lower crust, yet geological pathways are under-recognized. Elongate bodies of …
