The Lesser Antilles volcanic arc is related to subduction of the American plate under the
Caribbean plate. The rate of subduction is low, 2–4 cm a− 1, and this has been reflected, at …

Explosive volcanic eruptions constitute a major class of natural hazard with potentially
profound economic and societal consequences. Although such eruptions cannot be …

Calcic, igneous amphiboles are of special interest as their compositional diversity and
common occurrence provide ample potential to investigate magmatic processes. But not all …

A thermodynamic model for estimating the saturation conditions of H 2 O–CO 2 mixed fluids
in multicomponent silicate liquids is described. The model extends the capabilities of rhyolite …

A model for the generation of intermediate and silicic igneous rocks is presented, based on
experimental data and numerical modelling. The model is directed at subduction-related …

Benzene contamination is a significant problem. It is used in a wide range of manufacturing
processes and is a primary component of petroleum-based fuels. Benzene is a hydrocarbon …

We introduce a novel scheme that enables natural silicic glasses to be projected into the
synthetic system Qz–Ab–Or–H 2 O in order to relate variations in volcanic glass chemistry to …

Experiments were conducted to study the temporal evolution of feldspar crystallization
kinetics during isothermal decompression. Pinatubo dacite was held at 780° C, 220 MPa …

Large mammalian herbivores occupy half of the earth's land surface and are important both
ecologically and economically, but their diversity is threatened by human activities. We …

The 1995–1999 eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano, Montserrat, has produced a crystal-
rich andesite containing quench-textured mafic inclusions, which show evidence of having …
