Partial melting occurs in a variety of geological environments,
from granitic partial melts in the continental crust, to basaltic
or carbonate partial melts in the upper mantle. Partial melting is
the first stage of magmatism and therefore plays a role of primary
importance in the chemical differentiation of the Earth and in the
transport of heat to the Earth surface. 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, on 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. Audience: This book is intended for a broad readership,
including graduate students, specializing in petrology and
geodynamics. The volume may be recommended as a textbook for
graduate courses on petrology, geomaterial sciences and geophysics.
