Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust, mantle, and fluids and therefore its
isotopic composition provides robust constraints on magma genesis. Application of oxygen …

Zircon (ZrSiO 4) and baddeleyite (ZrO 2) are common accessory minerals in igneous rocks
of felsic to mafic composition. Both minerals host trace elements substituting for Zr, among …

One of the outstanding problems in understanding the behavior of intermediate-to-silicic
magmatic systems is the mechanism (s) by which large volumes of crystal-poor rhyolite can …

Zircon has the outstanding capacity to record chronological, thermal, and chemical
information, including the storage history of zoned silicic magma reservoirs like the one …

We present zircon textural, trace element and U–Pb age data obtained by secondary ion
mass spectrometry (SIMS)(SHRIMP-RG: sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe, reverse …

We study the effect of temperature cycling on the rate of Ostwald ripening (or coarsening) of
spherical particles dispersed in a binary solution. A widespread view, which states a …

Recent discoveries of isotopically diverse minerals, ie, zircons, quartz, and feldspars, in
large-volume ignimbrites and smaller lavas from the Snake River Plain (SRP; Idaho, USA) …

K-feldspar crystals> 5 cm in greatest dimension are common in calc-alkaline granites and
granodiorites worldwide. Such megacrysts are generally interpreted as having grown to …

Improved geochronological methods and in situ isotopic (O, Hf) and trace element studies of
zircon require a new physical model that explains its behaviour during crustal melting. We …

The initial growth of crystals in magma is driven by kinetic forces, and the resulting textures
can be preserved in rapidly cooled igneous rocks. However, crystals in such rocks have a …
