Geofluids (2010) 10, 58–72 Chloride‐rich brines are increasingly recognized as playing an important role in high pressure and temperature metamorphic and magmatic systems. The origins of these saline multicomponent fluids are debated, but experimental evidence suggests that regardless of their origi...
