Geological interest in studying melts stems from early recognition that melts play a fundamental role in determining the physical and chemical behaviour of magmas and magmatic processes. However, due to the inherent difficulties associated with working at high temperatures, much of the geological research over the last 30 years has used quenched melts or glasses as proxies for melts themselves.
Glasses And Melts: Linking Geochemistry And Materials Science
October 2006, Vol. 2, No. 5
Geological interest in studying melts stems from early recognition that melts play a fundamental role in determining the physical and chemical behaviour of magmas and magmatic processes. However, due to the inherent difficulties associated with working at high temperatures, much of the geological research over the last 30 years has used quenched melts or glasses as proxies for melts themselves. The assumption that the structure of the glass resembles that of the melt has been found to be good, at least at the temperature where the melt transforms to a glass. We review how glass research has contributed to our understanding of melt structure and the behaviour of magmas. Emphasis is placed on elucidating the links between our knowledge of the atomic structure of melts and the macroscopic behaviour of magmas such as rheology, diffusion, trace element partitioning and redox behaviour.
