Full description Fluids and magmas produced during metamorphism of crustal rocks affect large-scale mass transport in the Earth and, hence, play a crucial role in crustal differentiation, the heat budget of Earth, the carbon and water cycles and the formation of orebodies. Nonetheless, we lack the most basic information on element mobility during metamorphism. Applying the latest innovations in geochemistry to metamorphic rock packages will allow us unique insights into the behaviour and mobilization of elements during metamorphism. The information gained will improve our understanding of how and where elements are distributed and concentrated in the Earth?s principal chemical reservoirs.
