Abstract: Abstract Partial melting is thought to profoundly impact the rheology and deformation behavior of the middle crust. Consequently, investigations of the pressure-temperature conditions of metamorphism, rates of heating, and durations of anatexis can provide unique… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ngeo2968
Abstract: Subduction of oceanic crust generates chemical and lithological heterogeneities in the mantle. An outstanding question is the extent to which these heterogeneities contribute to subsequent magmas generated by mantle melting, but the answer differs depending… read more here.
