The style and evolution of volcanic eruptions are dictated by the fluid mechanics governing
magma ascent. Decompression during ascent causes dissolved volatile species, such as …

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 …

Lava fountains are a common manifestation of basaltic volcanism. While magma degassing
plays a clear key role in their generation, the controls on their duration and intermittency are …

Volume 30 of Reviews in Mineralogy introduces in understanding the behavior of magmatic
volatiles and their influence on a wide variety of geological phenomena; in doing this it also …

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 …

The popping rock dredged at 13.5° N and 3770 m deep on the Mid Atlantic Ridge by the
shipAkademik Boris Petrov (sample 2πD43), has the largest gas content so far reported in …

Two contrasting models of the dynamics of explosive basaltic eruptions are in current usage.
These are referred to as the rise speed dependent (RSD) model and the collapsing foam …

The commonest eruption styles of basaltic volcanoes involve Hawaiian lava fountaining or
intermittent Strombolian explosions. We investigate the ways in which magma rise speed at …

The 1992 and 1995 basaltic eruptions of Cerro Negro volcano, Nicaragua, had contrasting
eruptive styles. Although they were nearly identical in composition, the 1992 eruption was …

In this investigation pyroclast structures are used to constrain degassing in basaltic lava
fountains. Vesicle size, shape, number density, interconnectedness and packing character …
