The build-up and triggers of volcanic eruptions
More than 800 million people live in proximity to active volcanoes and could be directly
impacted by potential eruptions. Mitigation of future volcanic hazards requires adequate …

No single model for supersized eruptions and their magma bodies
Supereruptions are the largest explosive volcanic eruptions on Earth. They generate
catastrophic, widespread ash-fall blankets and voluminous ignimbrites, with accompanying …

Machine learning thermo‐barometry: Application to clinopyroxene‐bearing magmas
We introduce a new approach, based on machine learning, to estimate pre‐eruptive
temperatures and storage depths using clinopyroxene‐melt pairs and clinopyroxene‐only …

Surges in volcanic activity on the Moon about two billion years ago
The history of mare volcanism critically informs the thermal evolution of the Moon. However,
young volcanic eruptions are poorly constrained by remote observations and limited …

The magmatic architecture and evolution of the Chang'e-5 lunar basalts
The lunar basalt samples returned by the Chang'e-5 mission erupted about 2.0 billion years
ago during the late period of the Moon's secular cooling. The conditions of mantle melting in …

Chemical differentiation by mineralogical buffering in crustal hot zones
J Blundy - Journal of Petrology, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Chemical diversity in convergent margin magmas is a product of igneous differentiation in
crustal hot zones, vertically extensive regions characterised by a low-volume (< 20%) mobile …

New constraints on Ti diffusion in quartz and the priming of silicic volcanic eruptions
Titanium diffusion profiles in quartz crystals are widely applied to constrain the duration of
magmatic processes. However, experimentally determined Ti diffusion coefficients in quartz …

Escalation of caldera unrest indicated by increasing emission of isotopically light sulfur
Calderas are depressions formed by some of the largest volcanic eruptions. Their long-lived
inter-eruptive periods are occasionally interrupted by phases of unrest, in which escalating …

Bubble-enhanced basanite–tephrite mixing in the early stages of the Cumbre Vieja 2021 eruption, La Palma, Canary Islands
D González-García, T Boulesteix, A Klügel, F Holtz - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Syneruptive magma mixing is widespread in volcanic eruptions, affecting explosivity and
composition of products, but its evidence in basaltic systems is usually cryptic. Here we …

Phases in fine volcanic ash
Volcanic ash emissions impact atmospheric processes, depositional ecosystems, human
health, and global climate. These effects are sensitive to the size and composition of the ash; …
