Abstract Despite Mt. Etna's long-standing reputation as an effusive volcano, since 1986
there has been an evident increase in mid-intensity explosive eruptions from its summit …

The abundances of CO2, H2O, S and halogens dissolved in basaltic magmas are strongly
variable because their solubilities and ability to be fractionated in the vapor phase depend …

Vanguard efforts in forecasting volcanic eruptions are turning to physics-based models,
which require quantitative estimates of magma conditions during pre-eruptive storage …

Sector-zoned clinopyroxene is common in igneous rocks, but has been overlooked in the
study of magmatic processes. Whilst concentric zoning is commonly used as a record of …

The solubility of H2O in silicate melt drops substantially with decreasing pressure, so that a
magma initially containing several weight percent H2O in a crustal magma reservoir is left …

Crystals formed prior to a volcanic event can provide evidence of processes leading to and
timing of eruptions. Clinopyroxene is common in basaltic to intermediate volcanoes …

Explosive volcanic eruptions constitute a major class of natural hazard with potentially
profound economic and societal consequences. Although such eruptions cannot be …

It is generally accepted, but not experimentally proven, that a quantitative prediction of
volcanic eruptions is possible from the evaluation of volcanic gas data. By discussing the …

Skeletal muscle exhibits great plasticity in response to altered activity levels, ultimately
resulting in tissue remodelling and substantial changes in mass. Animal research would …

We have investigated the loss of H 2 O from olivine-hosted melt inclusions (MIs) by
designing an experiment using tephra samples that cooled at different rates owing to their …
