and Ireland The movement of fluids through rocks has profound
consequences for the transport of heat and matter within the Earth.
Recently, considerable effort has been expended in determining the
mechanisms and pathways of geological fluid flow, with much of this
research concentrated on the effects of deformation on rock
permeability. Although it is well known that fractures can act as
conduits for fluid transport (as evidenced by abundant
mineral-fined veins and sheet-like igneous intrusions), the role of
ductile deformation has now been recognised as an important factor
controlling rock permeability in environments as diverse as the
mantle, the deep crust, and shallow crustal shear zones. This book
brings together review and research articles united by the theme of
deformation-enhanced fluid transport, with the aim of emphasizing
the many common roots of this important body of work. Subjects
covered include the movement of basaltic melts in the mantle; the
segregation, ascent and emplacement of granitic melts in the crust;
the flow through the crust of volatile fluids produced during
metamorphic events; and the movement of aqueous fluids through
fractured rocks near the Earth's surface. Deformation-Enhanced
Fluid Transport in the Earth's Crust and Mantle will appeal to all
geoscientists interested in the movement of fluids through the
Earth. It will prove an invaluable reference work for those working
in the field and will provide i useful introduction to this
wide-ranging and rapidly evolving area of research for
non-specialists.
