Magma is transported and stored in the crust mostly through networks of planar structures
(intrusive sheets), ranging from vertical dykes to inclined sheets and horizontal sills, and …

The formation and growth of magma bodies are now recognised as involving the
amalgamation of successive, discrete pulses such as sills. Sills would thus represent the …

Magmatic sheet intrusions contribute significantly to the upper crustal magma transport
network. The emplacement mechanism of the magmatic sheets controls the final geometry of …

The advent of photorealistic, 3D computer models of cliff sections (virtual outcrops) has
improved the immersive nature of virtual geological field trips. As the COVID-19 pandemic …

The recent experimental work by Kavanagh et al.[Kavanagh, JL, Menand, T. and Sparks,
RSJ (2006). An experimental investigation of sill formation and propagation in layered …

Field and seismic observations show that numerous sills exhibit lobate morphologies. Each
lobe corresponds to a distinct igneous segment exhibiting a finger-like shape, the long axis …

Sills could potentially form as a result of dykes modifying their trajectory in response to
remote tectonic compression. Here, we use analogue experiments to investigate how a …

A new study of Black Mesa pluton (Henry Mountains, Colorado Plateau, Utah, USA)
indicates that it is a classic example of a small upper-crustal pluton assembled over a few …

To understand the dynamics of shallow magmatic intrusions, I propose a theoretical model
of magma spreading laterally below an elastic crust. Nondimensionalization of the flow …

In this paper, we have synthesized the information derived from more than 20 papers and
PhD theses on the anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility (AMS) of 19 Variscan granite …
