Water and Magma Genesis

Water and Magma Genesis – The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 14, part 3

Water and Magma Genesis, edited by A.D. Edgar, is a seminal special issue devoted to one of the central questions in igneous petrology: the role of water in the generation, evolution, and crystallization of magmas. Originating from a symposium organized by A.D. Edgar and W.S. Fyfe, the volume brings together experimental, theoretical, and field-based studies examining how dissolved volatiles influence melting processes in the mantle and crust, magma composition, crystallization sequences, and the formation of igneous rocks.
