Continental magmatic arcs form above subduction zones where the upper plate is
continental lithosphere and/or accreted transitional lithosphere. The best-studied examples …

Global data for measured Fe 2 O 3/FeO ratios and Cu contents in unaltered volcanic and
intrusive arc rocks indicate that, on average, they are slightly more oxidized than other …

Generation of continental crust in collision zones reflect the interplay between oceanic
subduction and continental collision. The Gangdese continental crust in southern Tibet …

Calcic, igneous amphiboles are of special interest as their compositional diversity and
common occurrence provide ample potential to investigate magmatic processes. But not all …

The lower plate is the dominant agent in modern convergent margins characterized by
active subduction, as negatively buoyant oceanic lithosphere sinks into the asthenosphere …

Pressure is one of the key variables that controls magmatic phase equilibria. However,
estimating magma storage pressures from erupted products can be challenging. Various …

Adakite was originally proposed as a genetic term to define intermediate to high-silica, high
Sr/Y and La/Yb volcanic and plutonic rocks derived from melting of the basaltic portion of …

This work focuses on a rigorous analysis of the physical–chemical, compositional and
textural relationships of amphibole stability and the development of new thermobarometric …

Differentiation of mantle-derived, hydrous, basaltic magmas is a fundamental process to
produce evolved intermediate to SiO 2-rich magmas that form the bulk of the middle to …

Differentiation of hydrous primary, mantle-derived magmas is a fundamental process to
generate evolved intermediate to SiO2-rich compositions forming the bulk of the continental …
