A discussion of the mechanisms of explosive basaltic eruptions

EA Parfitt - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2004 - Elsevier
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 …

Explosive volcanic eruptions—IX. The transition between Hawaiian-style lava fountaining and Strombolian explosive activity

EA Parfitt, L Wilson - Geophysical Journal International, 1995 - academic.oup.com
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 …

Dynamics of degassing at Kilauea volcano, Hawaii

S Vergniolle, C Jaupart - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 1990 - Wiley Online Library
At Kilauea volcano, Hawaii, the recent long‐lived eruptions of Mauna Ulu and Pu'u O'o have
occurred in two major stages, defining a characteristic eruptive pattern. The first stage …

Deep submarine pyroclastic eruptions: theory and predicted landforms and deposits

JW Head III, L Wilson - Journal of volcanology and geothermal research, 2003 - Elsevier
Submarine pyroclastic eruptions at depths greater than a few hundred meters are generally
considered to be rare or absent because the pressure of the overlying water column is …

Onset of caldera collapse during ignimbrite eruptions

O Roche, TH Druitt - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2001 - Elsevier
The rapid depressurisation and discharge of volatile rich silicic magma chamber and the
onset of caldera collapse associated with ignimbrite eruption is investigated using combined …

Basaltic explosive volcanism: constraints from deposits and models

BF Houghton, HM Gonnermann - Geochemistry, 2008 - Elsevier
Basaltic pyroclastic volcanism takes place over a range of scales and styles, from weak
discrete Strombolian explosions (∼ 102–103kgs− 1) to Plinian eruptions of moderate …

Explosive volcanic eruptions—IV. The control of magma properties and conduit geometry on eruption column behaviour

L Wilson, RSJ Sparks… - Geophysical Journal …, 1980 - academic.oup.com
Plinian air-fall deposits and ignimbrites are the principal products of explosive eruptions of
high viscosity magma. In this paper, the flow of gas/pyroclast dispersions and high viscosity …

Recurrence rates of large explosive volcanic eruptions

NI Deligne, SG Coles… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
A global database of large explosive volcanic eruptions has been compiled for the Holocene
and analyzed using extreme value theory to estimate magnitude‐frequency relationships …

The mechanism of volcanic eruptions (a steady state approach)

YB Slezin - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2003 - Elsevier
A theory of a volcanic eruption as a steady magma flow from a magma chamber to the
surface is described. Magma is considered as a two-component two-phase medium and …

A laboratory study of explosive volcanic eruptions

AW Woods, CCP Caulfield - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 1992 - Wiley Online Library
This paper describes a series of laboratory experiments in which buoyant mixtures of
methanol and ethylene glycol (MEG) are injected as a downward propagating jet into a tank …
