Escalation of caldera unrest indicated by increasing emission of isotopically light sulfur

S Caliro, G Chiodini, R Avino, A Carandente… - Nature …, 2025 - nature.com
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

A Hornby, E Gazel, C Bush, K Dayton, N Mahowald - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
