From Source to Sink: U-Pb Geochronology and Lithochemistry Unraveling the Missing Link Between Mesoarchean Anatexis and Magmatism in the Carajás Province, Brazil
The connection between crustal anatexis and magmatism is key to understanding the mechanisms that drive the evolution of the continental crust. Isotope geology and lithochemistry are important tools for reconstructing links between these processes, as field evidence of their connection is often obliterated by deformation in high-grade terrains.
