An investigation of crustal contamination through petrology and geochemisty

The contamination of mantle-derived magmas by the continental crust is an important process during petrogenesis of volcanic rocks at active continental margins e.g. The Andes. Investigating the evolution of continental arc magmas is, however, hampered by our limited knowledge of, and poor constraint...
