Physics and chemistry of partially molten rocks

"This special volume contains contributions presented at the symposium "Physics and Chemistry of Partially Molten Systems" of the EUG 9 meeting, held in Strasbourg, France, from March 23-27, 1997. It is intended to provide a current understanding of the physics of partial melting and melt segregation and covers topics such as the rheology of partially molten systems, the topology of partial melts, modelling of partial melting processes, and field observations of partial melts." "This book is intended for a broad audience of readers, including graduate students, specializing in petrology and geodynamics. The volume may be a text book for graduate courses on petrology, geomaterial sciences and geophysics."--Jacket.
