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

Continental arcs in Cordilleran orogenic systems display episodic changes in magma
production rate, alternating between flare ups (70–90 km 3 km− 1 Myr− 1) and lulls (< 20 km …

Ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metamorphism is the most thermally extreme form of regional
crustal metamorphism, with temperatures exceeding 900° C. UHT crustal metamorphism is …

Most magmatism on Earth forms by direct melting of the mantle, generating basalts at the
low silica end of the terrestrial compositional spectrum. However, most subduction zone …

The largest accumulations of rhyolitic melt in the upper crust occur in voluminous silicic
crystal mushes, which sometimes erupt as unzoned, crystal-rich ignimbrites, but are most …

Evolved magmas, including highly explosive rhyolites, are mainly generated by extraction of
viscous melts from solid residues either in (1) partial melting zones within the crust …

Compositional gaps are common in volcanic series worldwide. The pervasive generation of
compositional gaps influences the mechanical and thermal properties of the crust, and holds …

On the basis of the net transfer reactions among garnet, biotite, plagioclase and quartz (for
both Mg and Fe end-member models), the garnet–biotite–plagioclase–quartz (GBPQ) …

This study investigates the behaviour of the Zr-in-rutile and Ti-in-zircon thermometers in
granulite facies metapelites from the Ivrea-Verbano Zone lower crustal section. U–Pb ages …

We present a quantitative assessment of the thermal and dynamic response of an
amphibolitic lower crust to the intrusion of basaltic dike swarms in an arc setting. We …
