Processes in mushes and their role in the differentiation of granitic rocks
RF Weinberg, RH Vernon, H Schmeling - Earth-Science Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier
The modification of magma through mixing or through assimilation of country rocks is
commonly inferred from various chemical and isotopic features of magmatic rock suites and …

Crustal melting vs. fractionation of basaltic magmas: Part 1, granites and paradigms
Granitoids are a major component of the continental crust. They play a pivotal role in its
evolution, either by adding new material (continental growth), or by reworking older …

Source reservoir controls on the size, frequency, and composition of large-scale volcanic eruptions
Large-scale, explosive volcanic eruptions are one of the Earth's most hazardous natural
phenomena. We demonstrate that their size, frequency, and composition can be explained …

The magmatic architecture of continental flood basalts I: Observations from the Deccan Traps
Flood basalts are some of the largest magmatic events in Earth history, with intrusion and
eruption of millions of km3 of basaltic magma over a short time period (∼ 1–5 Ma). A typical …

Dynamic Two‐Phase Flow Modeling of Melt Segregation in Continental Crust: Batholith Emplacement Versus Crustal Convection, With Implications for Magmatism in …
Magmatic processes in the continental crust such as crustal convection, melt ascent, magma
emplacement, and batholith formation are not well understood. We solve the conservation …

Pegmatites as geological expressions of spontaneous crustal flow localisation
Amongst the silicate-rich crystalline rocks that are produced in the continental crust,
pegmatites are characterised by their large crystals which give them both an aesthetic and …

Insights into the compositional evolution of crustal magmatic systems from coupled petrological-geodynamical models
The evolution of crustal magmatic systems is incompletely understood, as most studies are
limited either by their temporal or spatial resolution. Exposed plutonic rocks represent the …

Melt segregation and depletion during ascent of buoyant diapirs in subduction zones
Cold, low‐density diapirs arising from hydrated mantle and/or subducted sediments on the
top of subducting slabs have been invoked to transport key chemical signatures to the …

Geophysical imaging of the active magmatic intrusion and geothermal reservoir formation beneath the Corbetti prospect, Main Ethiopian Rift
Silicic volcanic complexes in the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) system host long-lived shallow
magma reservoirs that provide heat needed to drive geothermal systems. Some of these …
