Thermodynamic modelling shows that, although high-silica rhyolitic melts can form through
fractionation of low-silica rhyolitic magmas the complementary cumulates do not have …

The dominant form of cement used worldwide is Portland cement with annual output of
approximately 4 billion tons and emissions of approximately 8% of total global …

Cumulate processes in granitic magma systems are thought by some to be negligible and by
others to be common and widespread. Because most granitic rocks lack obvious evidence of …

Crystal-melt separation is important for understanding the evolution of granitic magma and
the connection between plutonic and volcanic rocks. Crystal accumulation and melt …

The chemical and isotopic characteristics of a solidified pluton represent the integration of
magmatic and sub-solidus processes operating across a range of spatial and temporal …

The physical process of crystal-melt separation is responsible for the accumulation of small
to very large volumes (> 100 km3) of eruptible rhyolitic melt in the shallow crust. Granitic …

Mafic and ultramafic plutonic rocks are often considered to be crystal cumulates (ie, they are
melt-depleted), but such a classification is much more contentious for intermediate to silicic …

The understanding of storage conditions and evolution processes of igneous rocks is pivotal
in unraveling the architecture and dynamics of trans-crustal magmatic systems. Here we …

With the recognition of multiple crustal cross sections on our planet, the advent of high-
precision geochronology, and the ever-increasing application of geophysical imaging …

Accessory and minor phases are frequently used to infer the composition and intensive
parameters of magmas. In granites, the most common ferromagnesian phases are biotite …
