This project explores the processes that lead to the formation of continental crust by studying the differentiation of island arcs. It aims to understand how these geological structures evolve chemically and physically through melting and other mechanisms.
Arcs are expected to be the fundamental brick of the Continental Crust (CC).
The main problem with this hypothesis is that the bulk CC has an andesitic composition while most arcs are formed by successive inputs of basaltic magmas.If island arcs accretion is indeed the main mechanism of crustal growth, one must explain how arcs can reach an intermediate composition and if these processes are effective in the nature.Intra-arc differentiation takes place in their lower crustal section.
