Arc Magmatic Tempos, April 2015, Vol. 11, No. 2
$20.00
Research over the past decade has established that magmatism in oceanic and continental arcs is not temporally or spatially steady-state. The causes of well-documented order of magnitude increases in magmatic production over relatively short-lived, high-volume events remain controversial.
Arc Magmatic Tempos
April 2015, Vol. 11, No. 2
Research over the past decade has established that magmatism in oceanic and continental arcs is not temporally or spatially steady-state. The causes of well-documented order of magnitude increases in magmatic production over relatively short-lived, high-volume events remain controversial. Since the differentiation of our planet and formation of the continental crust and its underlying mantle lithosphere is in large part the result of magmatic processes at convergent margins, it is imperative that we understand the underlying controls on the tempo of magmatic and tectonic activity in arcs and the episodic nature of magmatism. These processes also influence socially important processes such as long-term climate change, volcanic and fault hazards, and ore deposition. This issue provides an overview of some recently developed models for episodic behavior in subduction magmatism, from global to single magmatic systems, and explore the causes of high-volume events in subduction-related magmas.
