Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) can provide crucial information on the
molecular structure of organic and inorganic components and has been used extensively for …

Volcanic eruptions are driven by bubbles that form when volatile species exsolve from
magma. The conditions under which bubbles form depend mainly on magma composition …

When considering the rheology of a suspension the fundamental physical aspect to be
quantified is the redistribution of strain between the deformable matrix fraction of the …

Silicic lavas can be produced by the sintering of pyroclasts in the volcanic sub-surface, and
then advected out of the vent. Here, we provide evidence for this mechanism preserved in …

Lithium is an economically important element that is increasingly extracted from brines
accumulated in continental basins. While a number of studies have identified silicic …

Terrestrial volcanic eruptions are the consequence of magmas ascending to the surface of
the Earth. This ascent is driven by buoyancy forces, which are enhanced by bubble …

Welding occurs during transport and deposition of volcanic particles in diverse settings,
including pyroclastic density currents, volcanic conduits, and jet engines. Welding rate …

We offer new insights into how an explosive eruption can transition into an effusive eruption.
Magma containing> 0.2 wt% dissolved water has the potential to vesiculate to a porosity in …

The mixing of magmas is a common phenomenon in explosive eruptions. Concentration
variance is a useful metric of this process and its decay (CVD) with time is an inevitable …

Hydration of silicic volcanic glass forms perlite, a dusky, porous form of altered glass
characterized by abundant “onion-skin” fractures. The timing and temperature of perlite …
