More than 800 million people live in proximity to active volcanoes and could be directly
impacted by potential eruptions. Mitigation of future volcanic hazards requires adequate …

When considering the rheology of a suspension the fundamental physical aspect to be
quantified is the redistribution of strain between the deformable matrix fraction of the …

The majority of basaltic magmas stall in the Earth's crust as a result of the rheological
evolution caused by crystallization during transport. However, the relationships between …

Basaltic eruptions are the most common form of volcanism on Earth and planetary bodies.
The low viscosity of basaltic magmas inhibits fragmentation, which favours effusive and lava …

An increasing number of studies are being presented demonstrating that volcanic glasses
can be heterogeneous at the nanoscale. These nano-heterogeneities can develop both …

The dichotomy between explosive volcanic eruptions, which produce pyroclasts, and
effusive eruptions, which produce lava, is defined by the presence or absence of …

Mafic alkaline magmas, such as those feeding the persistent eruptive activity of Stromboli
and Mt. Etna volcanoes in Italy, are dominated by the crystallization of plagioclase via …

Water and carbon dioxide are the most abundant volatile components in terrestrial magmas.
As they exsolve into magmatic vapour, they promote magma buoyancy, accelerating ascent …

Traditionally depicted as homogeneous materials, manmade and volcanic glasses are often
subjected to nanostructuration during demixing and crystallization of their parental melt …

Magma crystallisation is a fundamental process driving eruptions and controlling the style of
volcanic activity. Crystal nucleation delay, heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation …
