The thermal evolution of mountain belts is commonly recorded in the distribution, origin, and ages of magmatism. In this volume, 20 contributors present the latest petrologic, isotopic, and geochemical evidence to highlight the contribution of igneous rocks to the evolution of the Appalachian orogen in both Canada and the United States. These papers emphasize the use of modern geochemical and petrologic data to discriminate the sources yielding magmas, and thus the nature of the crust and mantle. The wealth of data available in this work provides a significant steppingstone to more rigorous interpretation of the assembly and origin of the Appalachian orogen.
