Abstract Arclogites, or clinopyroxene-, garnet-, amphibole-, and Fesingle bond Ti oxide-
bearing cumulates and restites (collectively representing residues) to andesitic continental …

Abstract The North American Cordilleran Anatectic Belt (CAB) is a~ 3,000 km long region in
the hinterland of the Cordillera that comprises numerous exposures of Late Cretaceous to …

Much of the world's economic copper resources are hosted in porphyry copper deposits
(PCDs), shallow level magmatic intrusions associated mostly with thick (> 45 km) magmatic …

The Cenozoic landscape evolution in southwestern North America is ascribed to crustal
isostasy, dynamic topography, or lithosphere tectonics, but their relative contributions remain …

The two most important magmatic differentiation series on Earth are the Fe-enriching
tholeiitic series, which dominates the oceanic crust and island arcs, and the Fe-depleting …

Arc magmas, a major contributor to continental crust growth, are thought to be more oxidized
than mid-ocean ridge basalts as reflected by an enrichment in ferric iron relative to ferrous …

The majority of arc magmas are highly evolved due to differentiation within the lithosphere or
crust. Some studies have suggested a relationship between crustal thickness and magmatic …

Resolving the geochemical discrepancies between the bulk continental crust and its
building blocks, basaltic arc magmas, can provide insights into the processes by which the …

Two distinct igneous differentiation trends–the tholeiitic and calc-alkaline–give rise to Earth's
oceanic and continental crust, respectively. Mantle melting at mid-ocean ridges produces …

Arc magmas, the building blocks of the Phanerozoic continents, are compositionally diverse.
The most prominent compositional diversity is that some arcs show early Fe enrichment …
