Formation and dynamics of magma reservoirs
The emerging concept of a magma reservoir is one in which regions containing melt extend
from the source of magma generation to the surface. The reservoir may contain regions of …

The global systematics of primitive arc melts
We extracted all volcanic arc rock analyses calculated to be in equilibrium with mantle
olivine from the global georoc database. This results in 938 primitive melt compositions from …
