Channelized metasomatism in Archean cratonic roots as a mechanism of lithospheric refertilization

Abstract Archean cratons represent stable continental domains which form the nuclei of the Earth’s continents due to their thick ( >200 km), mechanically resistant keels. Cratons and their stable roots form through melt and fluid depletion processes. However, metasomatic refertilization may occur...
