The 1975–1978 quadrennium was a period in which research in igneous petrology continued in many of the areas of interest of the previous quadrennium (Boettcher, 1975, sect. A)—that is, processes of melting and phase transformations in the Earth and planetary mantles and igneous processes that are peculiar to specific tectonic regimes. The object of these studies is understanding the contribution of igneous events to the evolution of crust‐mantle systems. The references in the bibliography cover the period from the latter months of 1974 to the end of 1978. References listed are believed to reflect both the contributions of geoscientists of the United States and the interactions between U.S. scientists and their colleagues in foreign countries, in particular other countries of the Western world.
