A comprehensive picture of the architecture of crustal magmatic systems  

The composition of igneous rocks – their minerals, melts, and fluids – reveals the physical and chemical conditions under which magmas form, evolve, interact, and move from the Earth’s mantle through the crust. These magma dynamics affect processes on the surface including crustal growth and eruptive behaviour of volcanoes. 

Crustal Magmatic System Evolution: Anatomy, Architecture, and Physico-Chemical Processes uses analytical, experimental, and numerical approaches to explore the diversity of crustal processes from magma differentiation and assimilation to eruption at the surface. 

Volume highlights include: 



Physical and chemical parameterization of crustal magmatic systems  
Experimental, theoretical and modelling approaches targeting crustal magmatic processes 
Timescales of crustal magmatic processes, including storage, recharge, and ascent through volcanic conduits
