The production of S-type granites has been related to the extraction of melts during water-undersaturated melting of metasediments in the lower continental crust. If this mechanism is of widespread applicability, a chemically ...

Cordierite can contain variable amounts of H2O and CO2, and the total amount and relative proportions of these volatiles reflect the environment in which the cordierite was formed. In this study, cordierite has been ...

Experiments defining the distribution of H2O [D-w = wt % H2O(melt)/wt % H2O(crd)]) between granitic melt and coexisting cordierite over a range of melt H2O contents from saturated (i.e. coexisting cordierite + melt + vapour) ...
