Physical Geology of Shallow Magmatic Systems: Dykes, Sills and Laccoliths (1st ed. 2018.)

This book offers a high-level summary of shallowmagmatic systems (dykes, sills and laccoliths) to support geoscience master andPhD students, scientists and practicing professionals. The product of the LASI(Laccoliths and Sills conference) workshop, it comprises thematic sections writtenby one or more experts on the respective field. It features reviews concerningthe physical properties of magma, geotectonic settings, and the structure ofsubvolcanic systems, as well as case studies on the best-known systems. Thebook provides readers a broad and comprehensive understanding of thesubvolcanic perspective on pluton growth, which is relevant for mineralogicalprocesses as well as the genesis of mineral deposits.
