Knowledge about the properties of silicate melts is needed by volcanologists and
petrologists to evaluate the dynamics of volcanic eruptions and magmatic processes. These …

A quantitative description of the transport properties, diffusivity, viscosity, electrical, and
thermal conductivity, of silicate melts is essential for understanding melting‐related …

The viscosity of silicate melts controls magma transport dynamics, eruption style and rates of
physicochemical processes (eg, degassing, crystallization) in natural magmas. Thus a …

This paper introduces Petrolog3, software for modeling (1) fractional and equilibrium
crystallization,(2) reverse fractional crystallization at variable pressure, melt oxidation state …

Over the past 25 years, our understanding of the physical processes that drive volcanic
eruptions has increased enormously thanks to major advances in computational and …

A new and empirical viscosity equation for anhydrous and hydrous natural silicate melts has
been developed using the following formulation: where η is the viscosity, T is the …

Mantle-derived basaltic sills emplaced in the lower crust provide a mechanism for the
generation of evolved magmas in deep crustal hot zones (DCHZ). This study uses numerical …

In implementing into a molecular dynamics simulation code a simple interionic potential
developed to describe the nine component system K2O–Na2O–CaO–MgO–FeO–Fe2O3 …

Our ability to forecast volcanic hazards at active volcanoes stems from our knowledge of
parameters affecting eruption dynamics. Persistent activity displayed by basaltic volcanic …

Glass transition temperatures (Tg) have been determined for natural multicomponent melts
using differential scanning calorimetry. Trachytic, dacitic, phonolitic and basaltic base …
