Continental arcs are the sites of production of continental crust, but the origin of these
magmatic systems is not well understood. Although a number of processes have been …

Knowledge of temperature and pressure, however qualitative, has been central to our views
of geology since at least the early 19th century. In 1822, for example, Charles Daubeny …

Differentiation of mantle-derived, hydrous, basaltic magmas is a fundamental process to
produce evolved intermediate to SiO 2-rich magmas that form the bulk of the middle to …

An updated and expanded data set that consists of 214 plagioclase-liquid equilibrium pairs
from 40 experimental studies in the literature is used to recalibrate the thermodynamic …

Many studies of experimental petrology have devoted to partial melting of crustal rocks. In
order to provide lithochemical constraints on granite petrogenesis, this paper presents a …

A revised regular solution-type thermodynamic model for twelve-component silicate liquids
in the system SiO 2-TiO 2-Al 2 O 3-Fe 2 O 3-Cr 2 O 3-FeO-MgO-CaO-Na 2 OK 2 OP 2 O 5-H …

Phase relations of natural aphyric high-alumina basalts and their intrusive equivalents were
determined through rock-melting experiments at 2 kb, H 2 O-saturated with f O 2 buffered at …

South China was formed through the amalgamation of the Yangtze Block with the Cathaysia
Block, but the timing of this amalgamation is controversial, ranging from Mesoproterozoic to …

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

Water is a key ingredient in the generation of magmas in subduction zones. This review
focuses on the role of water in the generation of magmas in the mantle wedge, the factors …
