Mantle and Slab Contributions in ARC Magmas
TL;DR: The current consensus is that most arc rocks crystallized from parental magmas generated in the mantle wedge, and that melting took place in the presence of water so that the temperature at the solidus was less than that beneath mid-ocean ridges and oceanic islands as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fission track analysis and its applications to geological problems
TL;DR: Fission track analysis has been applied to a variety of geological problems, including sedimentary provenance, thermal history modeling of sedimentary basins, structural evolution of orogenic belts, and long-term continental denudation as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transdimensional inverse thermal history modeling for quantitative thermochronology
TL;DR: The method uses Bayesian transdimensional Markov Chain Monte Carlo and allows a wide range of possible thermal history models to be considered as general prior information on time, temperature (and temperature offset for multiple samples in a vertical profile).
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolving temperature histories from apatite fission-track data
TL;DR: In this article, a procedure for quantifying thermal histories from apatite fission track data is presented, which relies on an initial stochastic search of a broad range of potential thermal histories using a GA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partial melting of mafic (amphibolitic) lower crust by periodic influx of basaltic magma
Nick Petford,Kerry Gallagher +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of periodicity of basalt intrusion on the degree and timescales of melting of mafic lower (arc) crust were explored. But the authors focused on a periodicity ranging from 20 to 30,000 years, with a total of 1 km of basic material intruded.
