The circulation of magma is typically accompanied by the transfer of materials and thermal
energy that can significantly alter the compositions and properties of sedimentary rocks …

There has been a surge in the number of studies on submarine hydrothermal vents and
smokers, which has enhanced our understanding of the evolution of organic hydrocarbons …

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

Emplacement of magma in the shallow subsurface can result in the development of dome-
shaped folds at the Earth's surface. These so-called “forced folds” have been described in …

Application of 3D seismic reflection data to igneous systems in sedimentary basins has led
to a revolution in the understanding of mafic sill complexes. However, there is considerable …

Igneous intrusions emplaced within the prospective intervals of sedimentary basins can
exert a significant impact on petroleum systems and hence are of considerable interest …

Cooling subvolcanic igneous intrusions are known to have a tremendous impact on fluid
flow in the shallow Earth's crust. However, the long-term post-cooling legacy of subvolcanic …

Timing, distribution, and intensity of magmatism are critical to understanding deep
lithospheric processes in the opening of the South China Sea (SCS). Based primarily on …

Cooling subvolcanic igneous intrusions are known to have a substantial impact on fluid flow
in the shallow Earth's crust, for example activation of geothermal systems, circulation of …

Most shallow magma chambers are thought to evolve from sills. For this to happen, several
conditions must be met.(1) There must be a discontinuity, normally a contact, that deflects a …
