Magmatic evolution of a Cordilleran flare-up and its role in the creation of silicic crust

The role of magmatic processes as a significant mechanism for the generation of voluminous silicic crust and the development of Cordilleran plateaus remains a lingering question in part because of the inherent difficulty in quantifying plutonic volumes. Despite this difficulty, a growing body of ind...
