Description

Special Publication 422

Our understanding of the physical and chemical processes that regulate the evolution of magmatic systems has improved tremendously since the foundations were laid down 100 years ago by Bowen. The concept of crustal magma chambers has progressively evolved from molten-rock vats to thermally, chemically and physically heterogeneous reservoirs that are kept active by the periodic injection of magma. This new model, while more complex, provides a better framework to interpret volcanic activity and decipher the information contained in intrusive and extrusive rocks.

Igneous and metamorphic petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, and numerical modelling, all contributed towards this new picture of crustal magmatic systems. This book provides an overview of the wide range of approaches that can nowadays be used to understand the chemical, physical and temporal evolution of magmatic and volcanic systems.

Featured in Geoscientist vol 27/4 May 2017

This volume presents the modern understanding of the chemical, physical and thermal evolution of crustal magmatic/volcanic systems derived from recent research advances in igneous/metamorphic petrology, geochemistry, geochronology and numerical/thermal modelling.

Introduced with a contextual overview paper, the volume contains 10 recent contributions organised into four fully-indexed thematic sections: 1: magma fluxes and phase equilibria, 2: phase equilibria, physical properties of magma and melt extractions, 3: architecture of subvolcanic reservoirs and 4: volcanic conduits.

A thorough review of contemporary developments within this field, the anticipated readership is expected to be from postgraduate researchers and professional academic geoscientists specialising in igneous petrology and petrogenesis, geochemistry and allied disciplines. All contributions are well-written and edited, with clear and appropriate figures, photographs and data-tables, augmented with a spectacular cover photograph as a bonus!

In summary, the inherent complexities of the evolving perspective of magmatic systems reveal an account of ‘mushmatism’ more than magmatism. A fascinating and recommended read.
