Description

In this contribution we use high-resolution techniques for the study of small droplets of deep melts generated during mountain building processes. The purpose was to provide hard numbers for the quantification of volatile budgets during crustal evolution, show how even melts formed at >1000°C contain water, and clarify how water behaves during metamorphism and melting at the microscale. Moreover, we provide the very first data on chlorine in natural melts from crustal reworking.
