With its integrated and cohesive coverage of the current research, Magmatic Systems skillfully explores the physical processes, mechanics, and dynamics of volcanism. The text utilizes a synthesized perspective--theoretical, experimental, and observational--to address the powerful regulatory mechanisms controlling the movement of melts and cooling, with emphasis on mantle plumes, mid-ocean ridges, and intraplate magmatism. Further coverage of subduction zone magmatism includes:
Fluid mechanics of mixed magma migration
Internal structure of active systems
Grain-scale melt flow
Rheology of partial melts
Numerical simulation of porous media melt migration
Nonlinear (chaotic and fractal) processes in magma transport
In all, Magmatic Systems will prove invaluable reading to those in search of an interdisciplinary perspective on this active topic.
