Abstract
Description
Granite magmatism represents a major contribution to crustal growth and recycling and, consequently, is one of the most important mechanisms to have contributed to the geochemical differentiation of the Earth's crust since the Archaean times. The important role of granites has been acknowledged from the times of James Hutton, being an important part of Hutton's (1785) work The Theory of the Earth. Since that time, advances in Earth Sciences and the development of analytical instruments have produced a vast amount of data from granite terrains around the world (see, for instance, the Proceedings of the Hutton symposia, 1988, 1992, 1996). However, many problems still remain unsolved.
