Schlieren-Bound Magmatic Structures Record Crystal Flow-Sorting in Dynamic Upper-Crustal Magma-Mush Chambers

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The size, longevity, and mobility of upper-crustal magma mushes, and thus their ability to mix and interact with newly arriving magma batches, are key factors determining the evolution of magma reservoirs.

Pre-eruptive storage constraints of an active crystal mush using mineral-scale techniques

open access: yes, 2023
Crystal mushes are common conceptual models used to interpret the structure of a magmatic reservoirs in many volcanic environments and are drivers of differentiation that can generate explosive silicic eruptions.

A Scaling for the Permeability of Loose Magma Mush Validated Using X‐Ray Computed Tomography of Packed Confectionary in 3D and Estimation Methods From 2D Crystal Shapes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Melt percolation through partially molten “mushy” regions of the crust underpins models for magma migration, accumulation, and processes that prime systems for eruption.

Insights Into Magma Chamber Processes From the Relationship Between Fabric and Grain Shape in Troctolitic Cumulates

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The strength of foliations defined by shape preferred orientation of plagioclase in troctolitic cumulates from the Layered Series of the Skaergaard intrusion, and the Rum Eastern Layered Intrusion, increases as the grains become more tabular, due either ...

The architecture of intrusions in magmatic mush

open access: yes, 2020
International audienceMagmatic reservoirs located in the upper crust have been shown to result from the repeated intrusions of new magmas, and spend much of the time as a crystal-rich mush.

Large Silicic Eruptions, Episodic Recharge, and the Transcrustal Magmatic System

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Large silicic eruptions result from rapid evacuation of large, upper crustal reservoirs of silicic magmas. These silicic magmas are thought to be replenished by melt extracted from underlying crystal‐rich source mushes, but the timescales and mechanisms ...

Clinopyroxene Crystals in Basic Lavas of the Marsili Volcano Chronicle Early Magmatic Stages in a Back-Arc Transcrustal Mush System

open access: yesGeosciences, 2021
Constraining the pre-eruptive processes that modulate the chemical evolution of erupted magmas is a challenge. An opportunity to investigate this issue is offered by the interrogation of the crystals carried in lavas.

Ductility and Compressibility Accommodate High Magma Flux Beneath a Silicic Continental Rift Caldera: Insights From Corbetti Caldera (Ethiopia)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Large silicic magma reservoirs preferentially form in the upper crust of extensional continental environments. However, our quantitative understanding of the link between mantle magmatism, silicic reservoirs, and surface deformation during rifting is ...
