Intense fluid motions can be generated by the solidification of a binary liquid. This review
paper describes systematically some of the concepts involved in the fluid mechanics of …

This manuscript is devoted to the nonlinear dynamics of particulate assemblages in
metastable liquids, caused by various dynamical laws of crystal growth and nucleation …

The formation, storage and chemical differentiation of magma in the Earth's crust is of
fundamental importance in igneous geology and volcanology. Recent data are challenging …

From GF Becker's and LV Pirsson's early enunciations linking the dynamics of magma
chambers to the rock records of sills and plutons to this day, two features stand at the centre …

A large granitic pluton associated with numerous hydrothermal ore deposits (the Mole
Granite, northeastern New South Wales, Australia) was used for an integrated study of the …

A series of experiments are described where dyed water (a magma analogue) was intruded
into solid gelatine (a crustal analogue) to investigate the formation of sills. We considered a …

Rock textures commonly preserve a record of the near-surface crystallization history of
volcanic rocks. Under conditions of simple cooling without convection or mixing, textures will …

Heat provides the energy that drives almost all geological phenomena and sets the
temperature at which these phenomena operate. This book explains the key physical …

Seismic refraction data from mature oceanic regions show remarkable consistency in crustal
thickness between sites, yet the characteristics of different spreading centers show great …

The determination of along-axis variations in melt properties within the crustal axial magma
chamber beneath fast spreading axes is important for understanding melt delivery from the …
