Trace elements do not give rise to characteristic minerals, but their behaviour can be modelled to provide historical information about the source magma. This book brings together the essential theory required to understand the behaviour of trace elements in magmas and magma-derived rocks. It presents a wide range of models and mechanisms which explain trace element distribution. Trace Elements in Magmas provides an excellent resource for graduate students, petrologists, geochemists and mineralogists, as well as researchers in geophysics and materials science. Book Description: Taking a mathematical approach, this book brings together the essential theory required to understand the behaviour of trace elements in magmas and magma-derived rocks. It provides an excellent resource for graduate students, petrologists, geochemists and mineralogists, as well as researchers in geophysics and materials science. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Trace elements in magmasThe Shaw's book 'trace elements in magmas' is the up-to-dated description of the available mathematical methods of modeling trace elements in igneous systems. It covers since the more simple Rayleigh fractional crystallisation and batch partial melting mechanisms until the most complex dynamic melting. It is well illustrated, concise, and has a number of useful references.
