Magma is transported and stored in the crust mostly through networks of planar structures
(intrusive sheets), ranging from vertical dykes to inclined sheets and horizontal sills, and …

We review the numerous experimental studies dedicated to unravelling the physics and
dynamics of various parts of a volcanic plumbing system. Section 1 lists the model materials …

Gelatine has often been used as an analogue material to model the propagation of magma-
filled fractures in the Earth's brittle and elastic crust. Despite this, there are few studies of the …

Modelling has been used in the study of volcanic systems for more than 100 years, building
upon the approach first applied by Sir James Hall in 1815. Informed by observations of …

The physical integrity of a sub-volcanic basement is crucial in controlling the stability of a
volcanic edifice. For many volcanoes, this basement can comprise thick sequences of …

The spatial distribution of eruptive vents around volcanoes can be complex and evolve as a
volcano grows. Observations of vent distribution at contrasting volcanoes, from scoria cones …

Marine conglomerates at high elevation on the flanks of ocean islands are usually
interpreted as evidence of mega-tsunamis generated by volcano flank collapses, although …

In a laboratory model the behavior of the selected analog material must be properly scaled
to nature. Here, we systematically investigate both rheological and physical properties of a …

The relationship between rift zones and flank instability in ocean island volcanoes is often
inferred but rarely documented. Our field data, aerial image analysis, and 40 Ar/39 Ar …

The Canarian archipelago comprises seven major oceanic volcanic islands located off the
northwest coast of Africa. Due to recent volcanic activity, the Canary Islands boast significant …
