Large caldera-forming eruptions have long been a focus of both petrological and
volcanological studies; petrologists have used the eruptive products to probe conditions of …

Storage pressures of magma chambers influence the style, frequency and magnitude of
volcanic eruptions. Neutral buoyancy or rheological transitions are commonly assumed to …

Magmatic sheet intrusions contribute significantly to the upper crustal magma transport
network. The emplacement mechanism of the magmatic sheets controls the final geometry of …

Dikes and sills are the moving building blocks of the plumbing system of volcanoes and play
a fundamental role in the accretionary processes of the crust. They nucleate, propagate, halt …

Heat provides the energy that drives almost all geological phenomena and sets the
temperature at which these phenomena operate. This book explains the key physical …

Even though dykes are the main upward magma pathways through the Earth's crust, the last
two decades of research showed that significant parts of volcano plumbing systems consist …

Magmatic intrusions and volcanic eruptions are intimately related phenomena. Shallow
magma intrusion builds subsurface reservoirs that are drained by volcanic eruptions. Thus …

Sills could potentially form as a result of dykes modifying their trajectory in response to
remote tectonic compression. Here, we use analogue experiments to investigate how a …

We develop a mathematical model describing dyke propagation in proximity of an elastic
discontinuity of the embedding medium. The dyke is modelled as a fluid-filled crack in plane …

During a volcanic unrest period with magma-chamber rupture, fluid-driven fractures (dykes)
are injected either from deep reservoirs or shallow magma chambers. Subsequently, the …
