Geophysical characterization of mantle melting anomalies: a crustal view [PDF]
, 2007 18 pages, 4 figures, 1 tableAt present there is no single “unified theory” capable of explaining the variety of geological, geophysical, and geochemical observations that characterize what is generically known as hotspot magmatism.

Geochemical Insights into Crustal Melting in the Bhutan Himalaya [PDF]
, 2016 Crustal melting and granitic intrusions are characteristics of many continental collision zones. The processes, sources and timing of melt generation in collision zones are critical to understanding crustal and tectonic evolution.

Crustal melting in orogenic belts revealed by eclogite thermal properties. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2022 AbstractPartial melting in the continental crust may play a critical role on the behavior of continents during collision. However, the occurrence of partial melt in orogenic continental crust is not well understood. Since the temperature of the orogen is controlled by the thermal properties of constituent rocks, we measured the thermal conductivity and

Crustal melting and continent uplift by mafic underplating at convergent boundaries. [PDF]
Nat CommunThe thick crust of the southern Tibetan and central Andean plateaus includes high-conductivity, low-velocity zones ascribed to partial melt. The melt origin and effect on plateau uplift remain speculative, in particular if plateau uplift happens before continental collision.

Melting by numbers: Assessing the effective melt fertility of crustal rocks [PDF]
Lithos, 2021 Partial melting of rocks and the corresponding metamorphic reactions can be simulated through a Lagrangian description, which considers a discrete mineral distribution at sample scale and an infinite heat source. Our model aims to determine the effective melt productivity of crustal rocks linked to texture and composition of the source. In addition, it

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
