Abstract: Igneous intrusions in sedimentary basins exhibit a great diversity of shapes from thin sheets (e.g. sills, cone sheets), to massive intrusions (e.g. laccoliths, plugs). Presently, none of the established models of magma emplacement have the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/petrology/egy034
Abstract: &NA; The type and magnitude of the physical and chemical processes controlling magma ascent, storage and solidification in zoned plutons remain controversial, even though such plutons are widespread in arcs. Linking both plutonic and host… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/feart.2017.00037
Abstract: In situ sequestration of CO2 in mantle peridotites has been proposed as a method to alleviate the amount of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere. This study presents the results of eight-month long laboratory fluid-rock experiments… read more here.
