Evolution and differentiation of the continental crust

"The evolution and differentiation of the continental crust pose fundamental questions that are being addressed by new research concerning melting, melt extraction, and transport through the crust, and the effect of melt on crustal rheology, in addition to new advances involving geophysics and geochemistry. Many new insights into crustal processes have been triggered by combined field observations and laboratory experiments, supported by developments in numerical modeling. Written by experts active in the field, this book provides a summary of recent advances for advanced students and research workers."--Jacket
