"A multidisciplinary perspective on the dynamic processes occurring in Earth's mantle. The convective motion of material in Earth's mantle, powered by heat from the deep interior of our planet, drives plate tectonics at the surface, generating earthquakes and volcanic activity. …

"The term "mantle" has inspired philosophers, geographers, and theologians, and shaped artists and mapmakers' visual vocabularies for thousands of years. According to Veronica della Dora, "mantle" is the "metaphor par excellence, for it unfolds between the seen and the unseen as…

Twenty years have passed since Menzies & Hawkesworth extended the concept of metasomatism to mantle processes. The aim of this book is to gather together progress made on this topic since then. Most of the 14 papers reported in the volume rely on in situ major and trace element …
