The emerging concept of a magma reservoir is one in which regions containing melt extend
from the source of magma generation to the surface. The reservoir may contain regions of …

Melt extraction from the partially molten mantle is among the fundamental processes
shaping the solid Earth today and over geological time. A diversity of properties and …

The deep magmatic architecture of the Hawaiian volcanic system is central to understanding
the transport of magma from the upper mantle to the individual volcanoes. We leverage …

One of the principal means of understanding upper mantle dynamics involves inferring
mantle flow directions from seismic anisotropy under the assumption that the seismic fast …

Plate motion and associated tectonics explain the location of magmatic systems along plate
boundaries [1], however, they cannot give satisfactory explanations of the origin of intra …

This paper presents a model for the genesis of migmatites and granites during orogenic
evolution based on the analysis of several Phanerozoic crustal segments and a review of …

The volcanoes that lie along the Earth's tectonic boundaries are fed by melt generated in the
mantle. How this melt is extracted and focused to the volcanoes, however, remains an …

Magma systems that supply volcanoes can extend throughout the crust and consist of mush
(melt within a crystalline framework) together with ephemeral magma accumulations. Within …

Geodetic data support a short-term continental deformation localized in faults bounding
lithospheric blocks. Whether major “faults” observed at the surface affect the lithospheric …
