Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Granite is a major and important component of the continental crust, and it is a characteristic rock of the Earth. Over the years, there has been a great deal of research conducted on the formation process of granite. Recent advances in analytical instruments and technology have led to the new discovery of origin and petrogenesis of the granitic rocks, not only on the Earth, but also outside of the Earth. The aim of this Special Issue is to reveal the petrogenesis of granitic rocks or related rocks from a wide range of applied sciences, including geology, petrology, geochemistry, and analytical sciences. These studies will contribute to clarifying the formation process of the continental crust of the Earth.
