What is Metasomatism in Oceanic and Continental Lithospheric Mantle: Introduction about?

Twenty years have passed since Menzies & Hawkesworth extended the concept of metasomatism to mantle processes. The aim of this book is to gather together progress made on this topic since then. Most of the 14 papers reported in the volume rely on in situ major and trace element analyses of minerals and glasses in mantle xenoliths, and deal with different kinds of metasomatic agents at variable fluid/rock ratios in tectonic settings as different as intra-plate, mid-ocean ridge (ophiolites) and supra-subduction. The book contributes to the wide debate on the nature of the fluids migrating into the mantle wedge, as well as on the different residential times of the subduction signature. In addition papers on intra-plate settings deal with the problem of relating various metasomatic signatures to one single metasomatic event through an infiltration-reaction process.Also available: Compositional Data Analysis in the Geosciences: From Theory to Practice - ISBN 1862392056 Permo-carboniferous Magmatism And Rifting in Europe - ISBN 1862391521 European Lithosphere Dynamics - ISBN 1862392129The Geological Society of LondonFounded in 1807, the Geological Society of London is the oldest geologic
