Crustal magmatic system evolution. Anatomy, architecture, and physico‐chemical processes / Эволюция магматической системы земной коры. Анатомия, архитектура и физико‐химические процессы

Magmatism in the continental and oceanic lithosphere contributes to the rejuvenation of Earth’s crust and is fundamental for the evolution of life on our planet. After their formation, magmas crystallize, differentiate, degas, mix with other magmas, and interact with the surrounding lithologies over a wide range of pressures and temperatures. The petrological and geochemical signatures of volcanic and plutonic rocks reflect the diversity of the petrogenetic processes. Deciphering these signatures has fundamental implications for elucidating the eruptive behavior of volcanoes and quantifying the mass fluxes related to the generation and growth of the crust.

Volcanoes are the most spectacular expression of magmatism, and for this reason they have attracted the interest of different disciplines in Earth Sciences, such as mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, and geophysics. The rapid advancement of analytical and modeling methods and experimental techniques has contributed significantly to the common objective of unveiling the processes that underlie the surface expression of magmatism on Earth. <...>
