Partial melting of crustal rocks, also known as anatexis, is the major mechanism of the
fractionation of the continental crust and generation of felsic melts. The segregation of melts …

Metabasites are important constituents of deep crustal sections and are the favored rock
type for studying lower crustal amphibolite to granulite transitions. However, metapelites …

Estimates on the geological carbon cycle are subject to large uncertainties that can be
reduced by thorough observation of rocks. In this contribution, we focus specifically on C–O …

Rates of melt production, extraction and crystallization, as well as scales of melt transfer and
interaction with their residuum change continuously in migmatite and granulite, affecting the …

We present a new approach to determine in situ CO 2 and H 2 O concentrations in apatite
via attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Absolute …

The diverse fluid regimes during melting of the metasedimentary crust have been often
discriminated on the basis of the composition of anatectic granitoids, with granites indicating …

Subduction fluids play a crucial role in regulating long-term chemical cycles. Their
characterisation is essential to understand the processes responsible for metasomatism …

Rare-element pegmatites are the crystallization product of melts strongly enriched in
incompatible elements. Some of these elements, eg, Li, B, P, F, and H 2 O, function as melt …

Partial melting up to ultra high temperature (UHT) conditions is one of the major processes
for the geochemical differentiation and reworking of the mid‐to lower continental crust, with …

Anatectic granites represent the products of crustal maturation by partial melting, therefore,
studies on their origin are crucial to understanding how continental crust forms and evolves …
