This work brings together review and research articles united by the theme of deformation-enhanced fluid transport, with the aim of emphasizing the many common roots of this important body of work. Subjects covered include the movement of basaltic melts in the mantle; the segregation, ascent and emplacement of granitic melts in the crust; the flow through the crust of volatile fluids produced during metamorphic events; and the movement of aqueous fluids through fractured rocks near the Earth's surface. The book should appeal to all geoscientists interested in the movement of fluids through the Earth. It should prove a useful reference work for those working in the field and provide an introduction to this wide-ranging and rapidly evolving area of research for non-specialists.
