Veins are common features in rocks and extremely useful structures to determine stress,
strain, pressure, temperature, fluid composition and fluid origin during their formation. Here …

Significant volume of wet melting requires an influx of H2O-rich volatile phase. In hydrate-
breakdown melting, initial melt accumulation is diffusion-controlled and melt accumulates …

Granitoids are a major component of the continental crust. They play a pivotal role in its
evolution, either by adding new material (continental growth), or by reworking older …

At low temperatures (< 750 C at moderate to high crustal pressures), the production of
sufficient melt to reach the melt connectivity transition (∼ 7 vol%), enabling melt drainage …

A model for the generation of intermediate and silicic igneous rocks is presented, based on
experimental data and numerical modelling. The model is directed at subduction-related …

Granitic magmas extracted from crustal sources can form over a wide variety of P, T and aH
2 O conditions. Both fluid-present and effectively fluid-absent conditions can yield granitic …

The modification of magma through mixing or through assimilation of country rocks is
commonly inferred from various chemical and isotopic features of magmatic rock suites and …

Outcrops provide valuable information for the characterization of fracture networks.
Sampling methods such as scanline sampling, window sampling, and circular scanline and …

Partial melting is the fundamental process by which juvenile crust was produced from the
mantle and subsequently reworked to become the stable, compositionally-differentiated …

The formation and differentiation of the continental crust occurs at convergent plate margins
in accretionary and collisional orogenic belts where sufficient heat is generated to achieve …
