This paper is a comprehensive review of the potential for remote sensing in exploring for
geothermal resources. Temperature gradients in the earth crust are typically 25–30° C per …

Understanding the structure and development of calderas is crucial for predicting their
behaviour during periods of unrest and to plan geothermal and ore exploitation. Geological …

The Andean volcanic arc includes over 200 potentially active Quaternary volcanoes, and at
least 12 giant caldera/ignimbrite systems, occurring in four separate segments referred to as …

A compilation and analysis of the size and frequency of the largest known explosive
eruptions on Earth are presented. The 'largest'explosive events are defined to be those …

Integrated magmatic, structural, and geophysical data provide a basis for modeling the
Neogene lithospheric evolution of the high Central Andean Puna-Altiplano Plateau …

Using the canon that large silicic volcanic fields are the surface manifestation of batholith
formation at depth as a departure, we examine what the spatiotemporal pattern of the 10–1 …

Experimentally calibrated models to recover pressures and temperatures of magmas are
widely used in igneous petrology. However, large errors, especially in barometry, limit the …

Approximately every 100,000 years the Earth experiences catastrophic caldera-forming
“supereruptions” that are considered to be one of the most hazardous natural events on …

Voluminous mafic dacitic to rhyodacitic ignimbrite fields linked to giant calderas are
distinctive features of the late Miocene to Quaternary magmatic record of the central Andean …

La Pacana is one of the largest known calderas on Earth, and is the source of at least two
major ignimbrite eruptions with a combined volume of some 2700 km 3. These ignimbrites …
