Description / Table of Contents:
The ocean basins provide a unique opportunity to investigate magmatic processes and mantle composition. The absence of continental crust as a potential contaminant provides an untarnished sample of the deep earth although a full understanding of the messages carried in the sample is still far away. In 1987, a meeting was convened by The Geological Society at Leicester University to review recent advances and research, and this volume contains nineteen of the papers presented at the meeting. The volume is intended primarily for research workers and final-year undergraduate students specializing in igneous petrology and geochemistry. The papers represent aspects of ocean basin magmatism not previously collected within one cover, and many of them are state-of-theart studies of this highly topical subject, which is now being further explored by the OceanDrilling Program.
