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

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 …

Forecasting is a central goal of volcanology. Intensive monitoring of recent eruptions has
generated integrated time-series of data, which have resulted in several successful …

Over the past 25 years, our understanding of the physical processes that drive volcanic
eruptions has increased enormously thanks to major advances in computational and …

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 …

During the eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat (1995–99), and several other
dome eruptions, shallow seismicity, short-lived explosive eruptions and ground deformation …

Textures in an exceptionally preserved effusive rhyolite conduit at Torfajökull, Iceland,
indicate that rising magma repeatedly fractured and healed at shallow levels in the conduit …

This book provides a wide-ranging comparative analysis of contemporary economic, social,
political and environmental change in small islands, island states and territories, through …

Magma fragmentation is the breakup of a continuous volume of molten rock into discrete
pieces, called pyroclasts. Because magma contains bubbles of compressible magmatic …
