Submarine Volcanism And Mineralization : Modern Through Ancient

Proceedings of a short course presented in conjunction with the 2008 GAC-MAC annual meeting in Quebec City, examining recent developments in the study of submarine volcanism and associated mineralization from modern seafloor environments to the ancient geological record. The contributors discuss the physical volcanology and geochemistry of volcanic suites from the Archean through the Phanerozoic, with particular attention to tectonic setting and styles of hydrothermal and related ore mineralization. Intended for non-specialists in petrology and economic geology, the volume also includes material relating to a field excursion to the Thetford Mines Ophiolite in Quebec.
