Description:
This Reprint aims to provide readers with an in-depth understanding of magmatic activity and metallogenic processes within the context of crust-mantle interaction. The analytical approaches employed range from conventional whole-rock and mineral major and trace element geochemistry to in situ isotope analyses of minerals, as well as radiogenic and non-traditional stable isotope analyses of whole-rocks. These advanced techniques allow for more robust constraints on classic geological issues, such as lithospheric evolution and ore-forming processes. Within this volume, leading earth scientists share their new insights, research findings, and future perspectives. The Reprint embarks on a scientific journey tracing magmas and ore-forming materials from the deep Earth to the surface, offering not only an enhanced understanding of magmatic processes but also critical constraints for ore genesis modeling and future mineral exploration. Our collective efforts aim to push the frontiers of Earth science research, providing a petrological and geochemical foundation for the pursuit of sustainable human development.
