| Abstract
|
:
|
The book is a multidisciplinary study by geologists, mineralogists, petrographists and geophysicists on the Ballachulish Igneous Complex (Scotland) and its thermal aureole. It represents the most comprehensive investigation of contact metamorphism to date. The aim of this work was to investigate equilibrium and kinetic aspects of rock- and mineral-forming processes in a well constrained natural setting. The individual studies include a wide range of disciplines: field mapping, magnetic and gravity surveys, detailed microscopy and geothermal modelling. A grid of isograds surrounding the igneous complex based on mineral reactions due to contact metamorphism is established. The associated cooling history has been constructed by thermal modelling. Time-temperature paths for different distances to the contact are related to the observed mineral reactions. The reader will find a wealth of information with broad applications to other intrusions and their aureols.
