A review of mechanical models of dike propagation: Schools of thought, results and future directions
Magma transport in brittle rock occurs by diking. Understanding the dynamics of diking and
its observable consequences is essential to deciphering magma propagation in volcanic …

Towards scientific forecasting of magmatic eruptions
Forecasting eruptions is a fundamental goal of volcanology. However, difficulties in
identifying eruptive precursors, fragmented approaches and lack of resources make eruption …

Segmented lateral dyke growth in a rifting event at Bárðarbunga volcanic system, Iceland
Crust at many divergent plate boundaries forms primarily by the injection of vertical sheet-
like dykes, some tens of kilometres long. Previous models of rifting events indicate either …

The build-up and triggers of volcanic eruptions
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 …

Magma chambers: Formation, local stresses, excess pressures, and compartments
A Gudmundsson - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2012 - Elsevier
An existing magma chamber is normally a necessary condition for the generation of a large
volcanic edifice. Most magma chambers form through repeated magma injections …

Spatial distribution and alignments of volcanic centers: clues to the formation of monogenetic volcanic fields
Monogenetic basaltic volcanic fields occur worldwide in tectonic environments ranging from
extensional to convergent. Understanding similarities and differences between these fields …

Generation, ascent and eruption of magma on the Moon: New insights into source depths, magma supply, intrusions and effusive/explosive eruptions (Part 1: Theory)
We model the ascent and eruption of lunar mare basalt magmas with new data on crustal
thickness and density (GRAIL), magma properties, and surface topography, morphology and …

Off-rift volcanism in rift zones determined by crustal unloading
When continents are stretched over a long period of time, deep elongated rift valleys form at
Earth's surface and zones of ponded magma, centred beneath the rift, form at the crust …
