One of the biggest challenges in volcanic hazard assessment is to understand how and why
eruptive style changes within the same eruptive period or even from one eruption to the next …

With the emergence of portable broadband seismic instrumentation, availability of digital
networks with wide dynamic range, and development of new powerful analysis techniques …

Most volcanoes erupt both effusively and explosively, with explosive behaviour being
responsible for most human fatalities. Eruption style is thought to be strongly controlled by …

The viscosity of silicate melts controls magma transport dynamics, eruption style and rates of
physicochemical processes (eg, degassing, crystallization) in natural magmas. Thus a …

The largest accumulations of rhyolitic melt in the upper crust occur in voluminous silicic
crystal mushes, which sometimes erupt as unzoned, crystal-rich ignimbrites, but are most …

We consider the current state of our understanding of the rheology of two-phase magmas,
that is suspensions of either bubbles or crystals in a viscous silicate melt. The discussion is …

Languages, like genes, provide vital clues about human history,. The origin of the Indo-
European language family is “the most intensively studied, yet still most recalcitrant, problem …

The style and evolution of volcanic eruptions are dictated by the fluid mechanics governing
magma ascent. Decompression during ascent causes dissolved volatile species, such as …

The relatively low rates of magma production in island arcs and continental extensional
settings require that the volume of silicic magma involved in large catastrophic caldera …

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