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 structure of upper crustal magma plumbing systems controls the distribution of
volcanism and influences tectonic processes. However, delineating the structure and …

Over the last few decades, significant advances in using geophysical techniques to image
the structure of magma plumbing systems have enabled the identification of zones of melt …

Temporal and spatial changes in volcano morphology and internal architecture can
determine eruption style and location. However, the relationship between the external and …

The movement of magma in sedimentary basins often occurs through an extensive and
interconnected complex of sills. Field‐, modelling‐, and seismic reflection‐based studies …

The architecture of subsurface magma plumbing systems influences a variety of igneous
processes, including the physiochemical evolution of magma and extrusion sites. Seismic …

The geometry and distribution of planar igneous bodies (ie sheet intrusions), such as dykes,
sills, and inclined sheets, has long been used to determine emplacement mechanics, define …

Although subparallel swarms of dikes are thought to be the primary feeders to voluminous
volcanic eruptions, increasing recognition of volumetrically significant sill complexes …

The geological record of the early part of the Paleogene Period in western and southern
Scotland is dominated by igneous lithologies, mainly subaerial lavas, shallow-level …

Dykes and sills occupy Mode I (extension), Mode II (shear), or hybrid mode fractures and
most of the time transport and store magma from deep reservoirs to the surface. Subject to …
