Modeling of Magmatic and Allied Processes presents methods and
models for the quantification of geological processes. Conceptual
models for magmatic differentiation involving crystallization and
mixing are presented and applied to field and textural data. Model
equations for the degree of partial melting in presence
perturbations of lithospheric geotherms and partitioning of
trace/radioactive elements in the matrix and melts, and the
formation of continents with melt additions are described. Diverse
magmatic products are shown to result from differentiation
processes rather than magmatic source heterogeneities. The degree
of partial melting depends on mantle temperatures, for which
parameterized thermal convection models are reviewed. Perturbations
in geotherms caused by mantle heat flow, CO2 flux from great depths
and tectonic thrusting are analyzed. The petrogenetic significance
of accessory minerals of felsic magma evolution is assessed with
the help of examples from Carpathian granitoids. Methods for
simulating the 3-D Concentration and Distribution Models (DC-DMs)
and fractal dimension of evolving magma systems are described with
examples. The use of conventional scanning electron microscopy
methods and electron microprobe to characterize and infer magmatic
processes is explained, and the background and economic potential
of hydrothermal systems are examined. The nature of oxidizing
felsic magmas along with their potential for copper mineralization
is discussed. In closing, the handling, calculation and plotting of
geochemical data for igneous rock suites using the R-language-based
software Geochemical Data Toolkit (GCDkit) along with plug-in
modules for the forward and reverse mass-balance calculation of
fractional crystallization are demonstrated.
