Inhaltsangabe

Mass Transport in Magmatic Systems describes the properties and processes of these natural occurrences, including a description and discussions of how properties can be used for quantitative description of mass and energy transport on, and in, Earth and terrestrial planets. As the experimentally obtained chemical and physical properties of magma is scattered across literature, this book provides a comprehensive volume on the topic. Moreover, links between properties and processes are rarely appreciated. This makes it challenging for a non-experimentalist to access, evaluate, and apply such data.

• Incorporates information from a range of subdisciplines, from materials science to geology, geophysics and geochemistry
• Highlights links between properties and processes of magmatic systems
• Presents chapters that can stand on their own, with practical applications and a section for non-expert readers

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Properties of magmatic systems have been the subject of experimental study and examination of natural occurrences for many decades. These endeavors have been driven by the need to understand rock-forming processes in the Earth and terrestrial planets. However, there is scant information providing the links between properties and processes. Mass Transport in Magmatic Systems describes first the important property behavior followed by description and discussions of how properties can be used for quantitative description of mass and energy transport on and in Earth and terrestrial planets.

The experimentally obtained chemical and physical properties of magma is scattered across the literature. Moreover, links between properties and processes are rarely appreciated. This makes it challenging for a non-experimentalist to access, evaluate, and apply such data. Mass Transport in Magmatic Systems aims to bridge those gaps and make the information available to a non-specialist reader.
