Unravel how arcs are built on geological timescales, What the role and the rates of
magmatic differentiation processes are in this, And how this may have formed continental crust on earth.
Among their topics are experimental results on fractionation of the highly siderophile elements at variable pressures and temperatures during planetary and
magmatic differentiation, nucleosynthetic isotope variations of siderophile and chalcophile elements in the solar system, the distribution and processing of highly siderophile elements in cratonic mantle lithosphere, chalcophile and siderophile elements in mantle rocks: trace elements controlled by trace minerals, petrogenesis of the platinum-group minerals, and highly siderophile and strongly chalcophile elements in magmatic ore deposits.
This was usually in close association with mafic and high magnesium rocks, suggesting
magmatic differentiation of the ultramafic bodies.

Isotopic composition of lithium is potentially a powerful tracer of geochemical processes such as high-temperature
magmatic differentiation, alteration of oceanic crust or fluidrock interactions.
