TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a numerical model to constrain the physical conditions under which both lower and upper crustal magma bodies form and find that over long durations of intrusions (greater than 105 to 106 yr), extensive lower crustal mush zones develop, which modify the thermal budget of the upper crust and reduce the flux of magma required to sustain upper- crustal reservoirs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine crystal-scale records of partial melting in lower crustal gabbroic cumulates from the slow-spreading Atlantic oceanic ridge (Kane Megamullion; collected with Jason ROV) and the fast-spacing East Pacific Rise (Hess Deep; IODP expedition 345) Clinopyroxene oikocrysts in these gabbros preserve marked intra-crystal geochemical variations that point to crystallization-dissolution episodes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model that accounts for extension and thermal-petrographic processes in diverse extensional settings was developed to understand the coupled control of tectonic extension and magma emplacement on crustal thermal evolution.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed reconstruction of magma emplacement and differentiation time scales of a complete crustal-scale igneous system exposed in the southern Alps (Ivrea-Sesia region, northern Italy) to quantify the magma fluxes and duration of transcrustal magmatism is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors integrate petrology, thermobarometry, thermomechanical models, geophysics and in situ electrical conductivity measurements to show that the magma storage beneath Ciomadul, a seemingly inactive volcano in eastern-central Europe that last erupted 30 ka, may still hold 20 to 58 km3 of water-rich silicic melt, constituting up to 20-58% in parts of the upper crustal crystal mush body.
