Magma reservoirs play a key role in controlling numerous processes in planetary evolution,
including igneous differentiation and degassing, crustal construction, and volcanism. For …

This work examines the global distribution of Archaean and modern igneous rock's
compositions, without relying on preconceptions about the link between rock compositions …

This textbook is a complete rewrite, and expansion of Hugh Rollinson's highly successful
1993 book Using Geochemical Data: Evaluation, Presentation, Interpretation. Rollinson and …

Rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) have a distinct distribution pattern in seawater, and
this pattern may be faithfully preserved in carbonate sediments and rocks. Anomalous …

Continental crust is the archive of Earth history. The spatial and temporal distribution of
Earth's record of rock units and events is heterogeneous; for example, ages of igneous …

Redox-sensitive transition group elements are involved in almost all fundamental
geochemical processes. Of these elements, vanadium (V) contributes a particularly powerful …

A survey is given of the dimensions and composition of the present continental crust. The
abundances of immobile elements in sedimentary rocks are used to establish upper crustal …

The graywackes of Paleozoic turbidite sequences of eastern Australia show a large variation
in their trace element characteristics, which reflect distinct provenance types and tectonic …

The exposed crust consists mainly of plagioclase (35%), quartz (20%), K-feldspar (11%),
volcanic glass (12%), biotite (8%), and muscovite (5%). Quartz is a resistate, thus feldspars …
