Despite several decades of investigations, inferences on the timing and nature of collisions along the Mesozoic–Cenozoic Eurasian margin remain controversial. We assimilate …
Abstract Porphyry Cu±Mo±Au deposits are commonly associated with intermediate composition arc-related igneous rocks with high Sr/Y (and La/Yb) ratios, and such rocks are …
We propose a continental lithosphere heat production model based on the petrology of crust and mantle, heat production measurements of surface and xenolith samples, and tectono …
To evaluate the role of garnet and amphibole fractionation at conditions relevant for the crystallization of magmas in the roots of island arcs, a series of experiments were performed …
Post-collisional (26.2 to 10.1 Ma) adakites occur within the Lhasa terrane of the southern Tibetan Plateau in an E–W trending, 1500 km long, magmatic belt. Outcrops are small and …
Most granites and related calc-alkaline silicic volcanic rocks from the United States and New Zealand Cordillera are saturated with zircon between 65 and 70 wt% SiO2. For this silica …
Ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) metamorphism is the most thermally extreme type of crustal metamorphism, with the crust capable of withstanding temperatures≥ 900° C. Mineral …

We review igneous experimental data designed to understand fractionation processes in the roots of magmatic arcs, focusing on fractional crystallization experiments in dry and hydrous …
The intraoceanic Kohistan arc, northern Pakistan, exposes a complete crustal section composed of infracrustal basal cumulates formed at≤ 55km depth, a broadly …
