Magma reservoirs play a key role in controlling numerous processes in planetary evolution,
including igneous differentiation and degassing, crustal construction, and volcanism. For …

Field, geochronological and geophysical studies show that many igneous bodies are
emplaced incrementally, growing by accretion of successive magma sheets. The existence …

The processes involved in the formation and storage of magma within the Earth's upper crust
are of fundamental importance to volcanology. Many volcanic eruptions, including some of …

In order to provide new insights into the relationship between plutonism and volcanism,
numerical simulations involving heat transfer computation were used to estimate the …

Many rift zones contain composite volcanoes (central volcanoes), most of which are
supplied with magma from shallow crustal magma chambers. Volcanotectonic studies of …

Approximately every 100,000 years the Earth experiences catastrophic caldera-forming
“supereruptions” that are considered to be one of the most hazardous natural events on …

The 1995–present eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano on Montserrat has produced over a
cubic kilometre of andesitic magma, creating a series of lava domes that were successively …

Field observations and geophysical data indicate that many igneous bodies grow by
amalgamation of successive magma pulses that commonly take the shape of horizontal …

Growing evidence supports the notion that plutons are constructed incrementally, commonly
over long periods of time, yet field evidence for the multiple injections that seem to be …

Felsic magmatic systems represent the vast majority of volcanic activity that poses a threat to
human life. The tempo and magnitude of these eruptions depends on the physical …
