Field, geochronological and geophysical studies show that many igneous bodies are
emplaced incrementally, growing by accretion of successive magma sheets. The existence …

Calderas are important features in all volcanic environments and are commonly the sites of
geothermal activity and mineralisation. Yet, it is only in the last 25 years that a thorough …

A model for the generation of intermediate and silicic igneous rocks is presented, based on
experimental data and numerical modelling. The model is directed at subduction-related …

The first such reference work in thirty-five years, this is a comprehensive guide to both
specific landforms and the major types of processes that create them. This two-volume set …

Caldera-forming volcanic eruptions are low-frequency, high-impact events capable of
discharging tens to thousands of cubic kilometres of magma explosively on timescales of …

A one-dimensional thermal conduction model simulates the repetitive intrusion of basalt sills
into the deeper parts of the crust. The model assumes geothermal gradients of 10–30° C …

A compilation and analysis of the size and frequency of the largest known explosive
eruptions on Earth are presented. The 'largest'explosive events are defined to be those …

Processes involved in the development of igneous and metamorphic rocks involve some
combination of crystal growth, solution, movement and deformation, which is expressed as …

A global compilation of 170 time‐averaged volumetric volcanic output rates (Qe) is
evaluated in terms of composition and petrotectonic setting to advance the understanding of …

The Earth's magmatism produces both volcanic and plutonic rocks. These two rock types
share many similarities, but also display significant differences that have led to a tendency to …
