Mafic alkaline magmas, such as those feeding the persistent eruptive activity of Stromboli
and Mt. Etna volcanoes in Italy, are dominated by the crystallization of plagioclase via …

Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) are the most abundant eruptive tholeiitic products on
Earth. Many experiments have been performed to investigate the solidification of basalts but …

The majority of basaltic magmas stall in the Earth's crust as a result of the rheological
evolution caused by crystallization during transport. However, the relationships between …

Isothermal and undercooling experiments were conducted on one of the most primitive
trachybasalts from Mt. Etna volcano in order to examine the crystallization mechanisms …

Magma ascending through Earth's crust undergoes complex chemical and physical changes
that may induce crystallization, a process that contributes to lead the magmatic system …

Thermobarometry provides a critical means of assessing locations of magma storage and
dynamics in the lead-up to volcanic eruptions and crustal growth. A common approach is to …

Sector-zoned clinopyroxene records kinetic effects imposed by variable degrees of magma
undercooling, ΔT, and can be utilised to track the dynamics of magmatic systems. The …

Ultrapotassic rocks are volumetrically minor, but widely distributed in different geological
settings. Extensive studies have concerned mantle melting processes that generated these …

Within subvolcanic plumbing systems, along volcanic conduits and post-eruptive
emplacement, mineral textures and compositions are governed by complex kinetic …

The pāhoehoe—'a 'ā morphological transition involves a change in the rheological response
of the magmatic suspension from pure viscous to complex rheological behavior, resulting in …
