Granite is one of the most important components of the continental crust on our Earth; it thus
has been an enduring studied subject in geology. According to present knowledge, granite …

Magma reservoirs play a key role in controlling numerous processes in planetary evolution,
including igneous differentiation and degassing, crustal construction, and volcanism. For …

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 …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

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 …

IGNEOUS ROCKS AND PROCESSES A practical introduction to igneous petrology for
students and practitioners The newly revised Second Edition of Igneous Rocks and …

Underplating was originally proposed as the process of magma ponding at the base of the
crust and was inferred from petrologic considerations. This process not only may add high …

Abstract Development of renewable energy infrastructure requires critical raw materials,
such as the rare earth elements (REEs, including scandium) and niobium, and is driving …

The largest accumulations of rhyolitic melt in the upper crust occur in voluminous silicic
crystal mushes, which sometimes erupt as unzoned, crystal-rich ignimbrites, but are most …
