Abstract The Kerman Cenozoic magmatic arc (KCMA), located on the southeast of the
Central Iranian volcano-plutonic belt, hosts some world class porphyry copper deposits …

Western Anatolia (Turkey) experienced widespread Cenozoic magmatism after the collision
between the Sakarya (SC) and Anatolide–Tauride continental blocks (ATP) in the pre …

A new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC)
to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower crust (MLC) of about 1: 0.6: 0.4. These proportions …

This geochemical classification of granitic rocks is based upon three variables. These are
FeO/(FeO+ MgO)= Fe-number [or FeO tot/(FeO tot+ MgO)= Fe*], the modified alkali–lime …

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 …

The mineral 'fluorite'is utilized as a probe to investigate the behaviour of the
pseudolanthanide yttrium with respect to the lanthanides (rare-earth elements, REE) in …

The continental crust has an andesitic composition with high Mg/(Mg+ Fe) and Ni contents
which may be too high to have formed by differentiation of basaltic magmas. Instead, mantle …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

Abstract Pre-collisional Eocene–Oligocene arc diorites, quartzdiorites, granodiorites, and
volcanic equivalents in the Kerman arc segment in central Iran lack porphyry Cu …

We present the results of numerical simulations to explore the effects of periodicity of basalt
intrusion on the degree and timescales of melting of mafic lower (arc) crust. Melt production …
