Reconciling mechanical models of caldera ring-fault nucleation within the transcrustal magmatic system paradigm
The formation of a collapse caldera requires the nucleation of circumferential ring-faults that

The Rhyolite Factory: Insights from rhyolite-MELTS geobarometry of plutonic rocks and associated volcanics
Magmatic systems feed eruptions to the surface; lead to the formation of ore deposits;
provide energy for geothermal systems; and are key to Earth's differentiation. While it is …
