Magma reservoirs play a key role in controlling numerous processes in planetary evolution,
including igneous differentiation and degassing, crustal construction, and volcanism. For …

The microstructure and mineralogy of volcanic rocks is varied and complex, and their
mechanical behaviour is similarly varied and complex. This review summarises recent …

This introductory article provides a synopsis of our current understanding of the form and
dynamics of magma reservoirs in the crust. This knowledge is based on a range of …

Large caldera-forming eruptions have long been a focus of both petrological and
volcanological studies; petrologists have used the eruptive products to probe conditions of …

Volcanic eruptions are caused by the release of pressure that has accumulated due to hot
volcanic fluids at depth. Here, we show that the extent of the regions affected by pressurized …

The Yellowstone supervolcano is one of the largest active continental silicic volcanic fields
in the world. An understanding of its properties is key to enhancing our knowledge of …

Supereruptions are the largest explosive volcanic eruptions on Earth. They generate
catastrophic, widespread ash-fall blankets and voluminous ignimbrites, with accompanying …

Integration of geophysical and geological data show that the Yellowstone hotspot resulted
from a mantle plume interacting with the overriding North America plate, a process that has …

Multiple abiotic and biotic factors combine in nature to influence the formation of calcium
carbonate limestone deposits. Systems Geobiology studies of how micro‐organisms …

Abstract The Yellowstone Plateau Volcanic Field is characterized by extensive seismicity,
episodes of uplift and subsidence, and a hydrothermal system that comprises more than …
