Description:
Layered intrusions represent a fascinating and complex manifestation of magma crystallisation and differentiation. They represent a key link between magma source and surface eruption, and can have significant economic impact through the development of mineral deposits. The study of layered intrusions brings together field geology, numerical and analogue modelling, fluid dynamics, experimental petrology and geochemical and textural study. Recent experimental, textural and geochemical work has highlighted the need for an integrated approach in order to constrain the underlying processes that control solidification, melt migration and efficiency of differentiation in mafic magma chambers. We encourage contributions that seek to advance our understanding of processes that control the development of layered intrusions, through integrated studies from any specialism.
