Recent developments have underscored the importance of modeling physical and chemical processes as well as the application of field techniques. The Fifth Hutton Symposium on the Origin of Granites and Related Rocks was held in Toyohashi, Japan, in September 2003 to review current thinking on this age-old debate. Some 27 invited papers are collected in this volume and represent all principal areas of research activity. The volume includes papers describing unifying models and new paradigms consistent with recent research, and contributions span the range from anatexis to emplacement and late-stage mineralization. A significant feature of this particular volume is the major contribution by scientists from the Far East both to generic aspects of granite magmatism and to studies of regional importance. |
