A valuable synthesis of the physics of magmatism for students and
scholars Magma genesis and segregation have shaped Earth since its
formation more than 4.5 billion years ago. Now, for the first time,
the mathematical theory describing the physics of magmatism is
presented in a single volume. The Dynamics of Partially Molten Rock
offers a detailed overview that emphasizes the fundamental physical
insights gained through an analysis of simplified problems. This
textbook brings together such topics as fluid dynamics, rock
mechanics, thermodynamics and petrology, geochemical transport,
plate tectonics, and numerical modeling. End-of-chapter exercises
and solutions as well as online Python notebooks provide material
for courses at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level. This
book focuses on the partial melting of Earth's asthenosphere, but
the theory presented is also more broadly relevant to natural
systems where partial melting occurs, including ice sheets and the
deep crust, mantle, and core of Earth and other planetary bodies,
as well as to rock-deformation experiments conducted in the
laboratory. For students and researchers aiming to understand and
advance the cutting edge, the work serves as an entree into the
field and a convenient means to access the research literature.
Notes in each chapter reference both classic papers that shaped the
field and newer ones that point the way forward. The Dynamics of
Partially Molten Rock requires a working knowledge of fluid
mechanics and calculus, and for some chapters, readers will benefit
from prior exposure to thermodynamics and igneous petrology. The
first book to bring together in a unified way the theory for
partially molten rocks End-of-chapter exercises with solutions and
an online supplement of Jupyter notebooks Coverage of the
mechanics, thermodynamics, and chemistry of magmatism, and their
coupling in the context of plate tectonics and mantle convection
Notes at the end of each chapter highlight key papers for further
reading
