Knowledge about the properties of silicate melts is needed by volcanologists and
petrologists to evaluate the dynamics of volcanic eruptions and magmatic processes. These …

The oceanic-island magmatic systems of the Atlantic Ocean exhibit significant diversity in
their respective sizes, ages, and the compositional ranges of their eruptive products …

A new and empirical viscosity equation for anhydrous and hydrous natural silicate melts has
been developed using the following formulation: where η is the viscosity, T is the …

By using recently determined experimental phase equilibria we show that the viscosity of
granitic magmas emplaced at upper crustal levels is approximately constant at∼ 104.5 Pa s …

Abstract The Tongbai-Hong'an-Dabie orogenic belt (THD) contains over 3 million tonnes
(Mt) of metal Mo. At least 10 porphyry Mo deposits developed in small to giant scales …

Mineral–melt partition coefficients of all noble gases (min/meltDi) have been obtained for
olivine (ol) and clinopyroxene (cpx) by UV laser ablation (213nm) of individual crystals …

To determine the effect of water on the rheology of depolymerized melts, we have measured
the viscosity of two series of hydrated synthetic aluminosilicate melts analogous in bulk …

The 1-atm viscosities of hydrated synthetic iron-free phonolite and trachyte melts are
reported between 108.4 and 1013.1 Pa s for water contents between 0 and 5 wt.%. These …

Apatite is ubiquitous in A-type granites, and can be used to elucidate the volatile contents of
the silicate melt, which reflect its source characteristics. A-type granites have been …

Although it is well known that A-type granites are enriched in the rare earth elements (REE)
and other high field strength elements (HFSE), the magmatic processes that concentrate …
