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

Silicic volcanic and plutonic rocks (SiO 2≥ 66 wt%) are generally viewed as being either
compositional equivalents or complementary to each other. However, consideration of the …

Abstract The Carpathian-Pannonian Region (CPR) hosted some of the largest silicic
volcanic eruptions in Europe during the Early and Middle Miocene, contemporaneously with …

We conducted in situ geochemical (major-, trace-element and Nd isotope compositions)
analyses on apatite, together with whole-rock geochemistry from gabbro, granodiorite and …

The bulk rock composition of granitoids reflects the composition of their source and the
conditions of partial melting, which are functions of the geodynamic setting in which they …

The west Kunlun orogenic belt, located on the northwest margin of the Tibetan Plateau,
represents a crucial tectonic junction between the central Asia and Tethys domains. Its …

Some of the Earth's oldest preserved continental crustal rocks, from southern West
Greenland, contain contradictory radiogenic isotope signatures, whereby Hf isotope ratios …

In order to understand the effect of fluid-induced alteration on the Sm-Nd isotope systematic
in apatite, a series of fluid/apatite reaction experiments, which involve reacting the well …

Accretionary orogens are sites of extensive continental crustal growth and modification. The
mechanism by which mafic crust is transformed into silicic melts (ie, maturation of continental …

Abstract Lithium–Cesium–Tantalum pegmatites represent a valuable global source of rare
metals, however the crustal processes that facilitate the generation of Li-Cs-Ta pegmatite …
