Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite contributions on the mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry of crustal rocks. The Special Issue will showcase studies of crustal processes across all scales, ranging from planetary processes on the scale of crustal differentiation and global tectonics, to regional and local phenomena on scales ranging from terrane, outcrop, hand-sample, mineral and lattice. Contributions that integrate quantitative and qualitative techniques, including spectroscopy and micro-analysis, with field-based studies and observations, as well as studies of natural crustal materials, experimental analogues, and theoretical models will be welcomed.
