One of the biggest challenges in volcanic hazard assessment is to understand how and why
eruptive style changes within the same eruptive period or even from one eruption to the next …

Field, geochronological and geophysical studies show that many igneous bodies are
emplaced incrementally, growing by accretion of successive magma sheets. The existence …

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

Determining the absolute duration of magmatic-hydrothermal events leading to the formation
of porphyry systems (ie, including porphyry copper, skarn, and epithermal deposits) is one of …

In order to provide new insights into the relationship between plutonism and volcanism,
numerical simulations involving heat transfer computation were used to estimate the …

Multistage histories of incremental accumulation, fractionation, and solidification during
construction of large subvolcanic magma bodies that remained sufficiently liquid to erupt are …

The close relationship between crustal magmatism, an expression of heat dissipation, and
tectonics, an expression of stress dissipation, leads to the question of their mutual …

Geochemical, structural, field, and geochronological data have been used to arrive at very
different models for the construction of upper crustal batholiths. Models for pulsed intrusion …

The kinematic evolution of the Patagonian fold-and-thrust belt and cogenetic Magallanes
retroarc foreland basin is reconstructed using new geologic mapping, two-dimensional (2-D) …

U–Th–Pb zircon geochronology is an essential tool for quantifying the emplacement,
differentiation and thermal evolution of crustal magmatic systems. However, the power of U …
