BERGANTZ DEPARTMENT OF EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, BOX 351310, SEATTLE, WA 98195, USA RECEIVED SEPTEMBER 4, 2004; ACCEPTED APRIL 13, 2005 We present a quantitative assessment of the thermal and dynamic INTRODUCTION response of an amphibolitic lower crust to the intrusion of basaltic The genesis of new continental crust in arc settings is dike swarms in an arc setting. We consider the effect of variable ultimately driven by mantle melting and injection of intrusion geometry, depth of intrusion, and basalt flux on the pro- basalt into the crust; however, the controls on basalt– duction, persistence, and interaction of basaltic and crustal melt in a crust interaction remain poorly understood. Basaltic stochastic computational framework. Distinct melting and mixing magma transports both mass and enthalpy, and the pet- environments are predicted as a result of the crustal thickness and age rological diversity that occurs when basalt reaches crustal of the arc system. Shallow crustal (30 km) environments and arc
