Studies of magmatic systems have long used the textures of erupted samples to infer
processes that control the location and duration of magma storage and drive volcanic …

The intrinsic solidification behaviour and glass forming ability (GFA) of natural sub-alkaline
silicate melts have been experimentally quantified via cooling-induced solidification …

The texture and composition of igneous minerals are unique recorders of the temperature,
pressure, and composition of magma reservoirs, conduits, and lava flows. Decoding this …

Isothermal and undercooling experiments were conducted on one of the most primitive
trachybasalts from Mt. Etna volcano in order to examine the crystallization mechanisms …

Undercooling and crystallization kinetics are recognized increasingly as important
processes controlling the final textures and compositions of minerals as well as the …

We investigated the external morphologies and internal compositional zoning patterns of
clinopyroxene phenocrysts in an ankaramite of Haleakala volcano (Hawaii) to constrain …

Steady-state volcanic activity implies equilibrium between the rate of magma replenishment
and eruption of compositionally homogeneous magmas, lasting for tens to thousands of …

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

Constraining the timescales of pre-eruptive magmatic processes in active volcanic systems
is paramount to understand magma chamber dynamics and the triggers for volcanic …

Our current knowledge of the genesis, ascent, storage, and eruption of mafic magmas is
intimately linked with olivine, its primary crystal cargo. Recent claims that phenocryst-size …
