Igneous Petrology
Igneous Petrology provides integrated, comprehensive coverage of physical and chemical facets of magmatic rocks and magma systems. Field relations and fabrics of rocks together with their mineralogical, chemical and isotopic compositions facilitate interpretation of rock origin. The dynamic evolution of magma systems is considered from their chemical and kinetic properties. Sources of magmas and how they are generated and subsequently evolve are also considered in the context of global tectonics.
