One of the biggest challenges in volcanic hazard assessment is to understand how and why
eruptive style changes within the same eruptive period or even from one eruption to the next …

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 …

The formation, storage and chemical differentiation of magma in the Earth's crust is of
fundamental importance in igneous geology and volcanology. Recent data are challenging …

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

Continental magmatic arcs form above subduction zones where the upper plate is
continental lithosphere and/or accreted transitional lithosphere. The best-studied examples …

The processes involved in the formation and storage of magma within the Earth's upper crust
are of fundamental importance to volcanology. Many volcanic eruptions, including some of …

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

Caldera-forming volcanic eruptions are low-frequency, high-impact events capable of
discharging tens to thousands of cubic kilometres of magma explosively on timescales of …

The most voluminous silicic volcanic eruptions in the geological past were associated with
caldera collapses above giant silicic magma reservoirs. The thermal evolution of these sub …

Silicic volcanic eruptions pose considerable hazards, yet the processes leading to these
eruptions remain poorly known. A missing link is knowledge of the thermal history of magma …
