A collection of 18 articles describing the mode of emplacement of various types of intrusions is presented in this text. All articles consider the role of regional tectonics in driving or controlling the emplacement of the intrusions.
"Understanding the combination of magma dynamics and timescales in volcanic systems has a fundamental implication in determining the eruptive behavior of volcanoes undergoing unrest and, more in general, in quantifying the mass fluxes that regulate the evolution of the Earth's m…
"Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass ext…

Alfred Harker (1859-1939) was a prominent petrologist who spent his career at St John's College, Cambridge, lecturing on and researching rock formations and related geological activity. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1902, and was president of the Geological Soc…
The Evolution of the Igneous Rocks, by N.L. Bowen, appeared in 1928 and had a profound influence on later generations of petrologists. Drawing on his series of lectures at Princeton University in the spring of 1927, Dr. Bowen identified, outlined, and applied the principles of p…
