Summary:

This volume contains a representative cross-section of current research on extension-related arc volcanism in the broadest sense, and is intended to stimulate further discussion and research into the complex tectonics and petrology of covergent plate margins. Papers include: Subduction systems and magmatism; Geochemistry of Lau Basin volcanic rocks: influence of ridge segmentation and arc proximity; Gamilaroi Terrane: A Devonian rifted intra-oceanic island-arc assemblage, NSW, Australia; Neogene volcanoes of Chios, Greece: the relative importance of subduction and back-arc extension; and others.
