“From volcanoes to Green Mining: the implications of transcrustal magmatic systems” Professor Jon Blundy, University of Oxford


13 Jan 2021

More Information

Almost all non-ferrous metal resources derive ultimately from magmatic processes; their formation requires an holistic understanding of how magmatic systems operate at a crustal scale. Traditional petrological concepts, such as large, shallow, open-system magma chambers, have come under scrutiny recently from the standpoint of petrology, geochronology, geochemistry and geophysics. In this talk I will summarise new developments in our understanding of magmatic systems, and discuss implications for a range of magmatic phenomena from the heights of volcanoes to crustal structure to new opportunities for metal extraction.

About Us

The main goal of the new IAVCEI commission on VIPS is to provide a forum for VIPS research beyond disciplinary or methodological boundaries to foster an integrated understanding of magma transport and storage in the crust.
