Water-fluxed melting, also known as fluid-or water-present melting, is a fundamental process
in the differentiation of continents but its importance has been underestimated in the past 20 …

Granitic magmas extracted from crustal sources can form over a wide variety of P, T and aH
2 O conditions. Both fluid-present and effectively fluid-absent conditions can yield granitic …

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 …

At low temperatures (< 750 C at moderate to high crustal pressures), the production of
sufficient melt to reach the melt connectivity transition (∼ 7 vol%), enabling melt drainage …

Migmatites are highly heterogeneous rocks found in high-grade metamorphic environments;
they are commonly encountered in the continental crust. Until now, many geologists have …

The grain‐and outcrop‐scale distribution of melt has been mapped in anatectic rocks from
regional and contact metamorphic environments and used to infer melt movement paths. At …

Pseudomorphs of melt-filled pores, recognized by their generally cuspate shape, are used
as diagnostic for the former presence of partial melt. They are commonly observed in …

Granulites may be produced in either fluid-present or fluid-absent metamorphism. Fluid-
present granulites can be formed by relatively low-T dehydration reactions, in the presence …

Partial melting is the fundamental process by which juvenile crust was produced from the
mantle and subsequently reworked to become the stable, compositionally-differentiated …

With less than two decades of activity, research on melt inclusions (MI) in crystals from rocks
that have undergone crustal anatexis–migmatites and granulites–is a recent addition to …
