BACKGROUND For more than 100 years, the melt-dominated magma chamber has been
central to conceptual models of volcanism and igneous processes. Over the past few …

The emerging concept of a magma reservoir is one in which regions containing melt extend
from the source of magma generation to the surface. The reservoir may contain regions of …

Magma reservoirs play a key role in controlling numerous processes in planetary evolution,
including igneous differentiation and degassing, crustal construction, and volcanism. For …

INTRODUCTION The Bárdarbunga caldera volcano in central Iceland collapsed from
August 2014 to February 2015 during the largest eruption in Europe since 1784. An ice-filled …

This introductory article provides a synopsis of our current understanding of the form and
dynamics of magma reservoirs in the crust. This knowledge is based on a range of …

Field, geochronological and geophysical studies show that many igneous bodies are
emplaced incrementally, growing by accretion of successive magma sheets. The existence …

The term “ignimbrite” probably encompasses the one of the largest ranges of deposit types
on Earth, associated with the partial to total collapse of explosive eruption columns feeding …

Multistage histories of incremental accumulation, fractionation, and solidification during
construction of large subvolcanic magma bodies that remained sufficiently liquid to erupt are …

Seismic tomography has provided key insight into Yellowstone's crustal magmatic system
that includes attempts to understand the melt distribution in the subsurface and the current …

Worst-case or high-end subduction-related earthquakes and tsunamis of 2004 and 2011 are
painfully fresh in our memories. High-end subduction-related volcanic eruptions have not …
