Through decades of field studies and laboratory analyses, Volcán de Colima, Mexico has one of the best known proximal eruption stratigraphies of any volcano, yet the frequency and magnitudes of previous eruptions are still poorly resolved.

Models of ice melting and edifice growth during subglacial basaltic eruptions. [PDF]
Models of the early stages of basaltic eruptions beneath temperate glaciers are presented that consider the evolving sizes of volcanic edifices emplaced within subglacial cavities.

Evidence of mid- to late-Holocene explosive rhyolitic eruptions from Chaitén Volcano, Chile
The 2008 eruption of Chaitén Volcano was widely cited as the first activity at the volcano for over 9000 years. However, we have identified evidence from proximal pyroclastic deposits for three additional explosive eruptions of Chaitén within the past ...

Explosion depths for phreatomagmatic eruptions [PDF]
Subsurface phreatomagmatic explosions can result from the interaction of ascending magma with groundwater. Experiments over a wide range of energies show that for a given energy there is a depth below which an explosion will be contained within the subsurface (not erupt), and there is a corresponding shallower depth that will optimize ejecta dispersal.

The vertical distribution of volcanic SO2 plumes measured by IASI [PDF]
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is an important atmospheric constituent that plays a crucial role in many atmospheric processes. Volcanic eruptions are a significant source of atmospheric SO2 and its effects and lifetime depend on the SO2 injection altitude ...

An analytical model for gas overpressure in slug-driven explosions:insights into Strombolian volcanic eruptions [PDF]
Strombolian eruptions, common at basaltic volcanoes, are mildly explosive events that are driven by a large bubble of magmatic gas (a slug) rising up the conduit and bursting at the surface.

Explosive Volcanic Eruptions--III. Plinian Eruption Columns [PDF]
The mechanisms controlling the transport of pyroclasts in a plinian‐type eruption column are discussed. An estimate is made of the density of the magmatic gas in the vent, and initial (‘muzzle’) velocities are deduced for 18 eruptions using the a real distribution of pyroclasts in the resulting air‐fall deposits.

Early Eocene sediments in northwest Denmark contain over 180 well-preserved volcanic ash layers, likely sourced from the North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP) between 56.0 and 54.6 Ma.

Piton de la Fournaise (PdF) is a basaltic volcano whose activity is characterized by effusive to mildly explosive eruptions. The geologic record preserves evidence of explosive eruptions associated with the seaward sliding of the steep east flank.
