Estimates of Volume and Magma Input in Crustal Magmatic Systems from Zircon Geochronology: The Effect of Modeling Assumptions and System Variables

Magma fluxes in the Earth’s crust play an important role in regulating the relationship between the frequency and magnitude of volcanic eruptions, the chemical evolution of magmatic systems and the distribution of geothermal energy and mineral resources on our planet. Therefore, quantifying magma productivity and the rate of magma transfer within the crust can provide valuable insights to characterise the long-term behaviour of volcanic systems...
