  • Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations

  • Rare-earth element (REE) modeling based on bulk rock analyses of crustal and mantle xenoliths from alkaline lavas and pyroclastic rocks is used to highlight magma–crust interaction processes between MORB oceanic crust and overlying sediments located beneath the Cape Verde oceanic plateau [1]

  • The Merensky Unit, within the Bushveld Complex, indicates origin by magma mixing phenomena resulting from multiple replenishment events [4]

Summary

Introduction

Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. This Special Issue of Minerals collects seven different scientific contributions highlighting how magma chamber processes and eruption dynamics studied either in the laboratory or in nature may control the evolutionary histories and geochemical complexities of igneous rocks. Results from these scientific contributions have the potential to elucidate those physicochemical parameters which play key roles in crystallizing systems, when degassing, magma mixing, and magma–fluid–crust interaction phenomena take place over different temporal and spatial scales.
