Ophiolites, and discussions on their origin and significance in Earth's history, have been
instrumental in the formulation, testing, and establishment of hypotheses and theories in …

Magma transport in brittle rock occurs by diking. Understanding the dynamics of diking and
its observable consequences is essential to deciphering magma propagation in volcanic …

This paper presents a brief synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the formation and
break-up of the early-Neoproterozoic supercontinent Rodinia, and the subsequent assembly …

IGNEOUS ROCKS AND PROCESSES A practical introduction to igneous petrology for
students and practitioners The newly revised Second Edition of Igneous Rocks and …

Geological and paleomagnetic data support the hypothesis that a Paleo-Mesoproterozoic
supercontinent, referred to as Columbia, existed before the formation of Rodinia. This pre …

The structure of upper crustal magma plumbing systems controls the distribution of
volcanism and influences tectonic processes. However, delineating the structure and …

Abstract Most magmatic Ni–Cu–PGE sulphide deposits occur within long-lived magma
pathways fed by high degree partial melts of the mantle. Holistic mineral-system analysis for …

Much has been learned about Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and their database greatly
expanded since their first formal categorization in the early 1990s. This progress provides an …

This substantially revised edition includes recently published information relating to plate
tectonics and continental origin. A large number of new figures have been added, and new …

Review of sea-level changes during the big five mass extinctions and several lesser
extinction events reveals that the majority coincide with large eustatic inflexions. The degree …
