Direct observation of degassing during decompression of basaltic magma

B Bonechi, M Polacci, F Arzilli, G La Spina… - Science …, 2024 - science.org
Transitions in eruptive style during volcanic eruptions strongly depend on how easily gas
and magma decouple during ascent. Stronger gas-melt coupling favors highly explosive …

[HTML][HTML] High CO2 in the mantle source of ocean island basanites

FML Forte, F Schiavi, EF Rose-Koga, SG Rotolo… - … et Cosmochimica Acta, 2024 - Elsevier
Some of the most CO 2-rich magmas on Earth are erupted by intraplate ocean island
volcanoes. Here, we characterise olivine-hosted melt inclusions from recent (< 10 ky) …

Crystal mush interaction controls eruptive style during the 2018 Kīlauea fissure eruption

Outgassing behaviour during highly explosive basaltic eruptions

EC Bamber, G La Spina, F Arzilli, M Polacci… - … Earth & Environment, 2024 - nature.com
Explosivity of basaltic eruptions is related to the efficiency in which exsolved gas can
separate from the melt during ascent, which is controlled by magma permeability. However …

O Bernard, F Costa - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2024 - Elsevier
The pre-and syn-eruptive magma decompression rate is recognized as a key parameter
modulating eruption dynamics, with explosive eruptions being generally associated with …

Origin of basaltic Subplinian eruption at Shishaldin volcano (Alaska): A vigorously degassing magma reservoir hosting small bubbles

S Vergniolle - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The 1999 basaltic eruption of Shishaldin volcano (Alaska) displayed a transition between
Subplinian and Strombolian activity. Strombolian bubbles indicate the presence of a …
