Abstract The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens was instrumental in advancing
understanding of how volcanoes work. Lateral edifice collapses and the generation of …

We present a new geological map of the Mexico Basin (Mexico City) based on field
descriptions, a compilation of data from previous publications, and new 40Ar/39Ar …

Diffusion chronometry has produced petrological evidence that magma recharge in mafic to
intermediate systems can trigger volcanic eruptions within weeks to months. However, less …

Volcanic fallout in polar ice sheets provides important opportunities to date and correlate ice-
core records as well as to investigate the environmental impacts of eruptions. Only the …

The unique nature of monogenetic volcanism has always raised questions about its origin,
longevity and spatial distribution. Detailed temporal and spatial boundaries resulted from a …

The Popocatépetl Volcanic Complex (PVC) is an active arc volcano located in central
Mexico, 70 km southeast of Mexico City. Current models of the PVC's plumbing system and …

How do lava domes release volcanic gases? Studying this problem is crucial to understand,
and potentially anticipate, the generation of the sudden and dangerous explosive eruptions …

Wind-blown dust plays a critical role in numerous geophysical and biological systems, yet
current models fail to explain the transport of coarse-mode particles (> 5 μm) to great …

The recognition of past climatic fluctuations in sedimentary sequences in central Mexico is
relevant for understanding the forcing mechanisms and responses of climatic system in the …

The deposits of volcanic debris avalanches (VDAs) contain diagnostic features that
distinguish them from those of other landslides. In this chapter, we summarize the …
