Tectonic controls on the transition from homogeneous crystal-rich to zoned crystal-poor ignimbrites

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Silicic calderas exhibit cyclic magmatic progression, with some systems transitioning from homogeneous crystal-rich to subsequent zoned crystal-poor caldera-forming eruptions—yet mechanisms governing this shift remain elusive.

A Systematic Comparison of the Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) and Anisotropy of Remanence (ARM) Fabrics of Ignimbrites: Examples from the Quaternary Bandelier Tuff, Jemez Mountains, New Mexico and Miocene Ignimbrites near Gold Point, Nevada

open access: yes, 2017
Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) has been widely used to define petrofabrics in silicic, elevated-temperature pyroclastic deposits (i.e., ignimbrites) and these fabrics have been successfully utilized to infer pyroclastic emplacement, or ...

Porosity and Pore-Network Controls on Elastic Properties and Permeability in Porous Ignimbrites

open access: yesApplied Sciences
In porous ignimbrites, porosity defines the first-order control on elastic trend, but rocks with similar porosity can still behave differently because their pore networks are arranged differently.

Paleointensity estimates from ignimbrites: An evaluation of the Bishop Tuff

open access: yes, 2010
Ash flow tuffs, or ignimbrites, typically contain fine-grained magnetite, spanning the superparamagnetic to single-domain size range that should be suitable for estimating geomagnetic field intensity.

Ignimbrites of the Pliocene Bagaces Formation near Cañas (Guanacaste, Costa Rica)

open access: yes, 2007
By this study, four units within the so far mostly undivided Bagaces Formation - a major ignimbrite unit of the Plio- to Pleistocene magmatic succession in northern Costa Rica - were identified and their ignimbrite sequences stratigraphically ...

Geology of the boundary between the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt in the Guadalajara region, western Mexico

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
To investigate the time-space relationship between the Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO) and the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB), as well as the early volcanic activity of the TMVB, a field study was carried out in the region north of Guadalajara City ...

Rapid caldera subsidence and fluctuating eruption dynamics: the lithostratigraphy and structure of the Loch Bà Caldera, Isle of Mull, NW Scotland

open access: yesVolcanica
Caldera-forming eruptions represent extremely hazardous events. The Loch Bà Caldera on the Isle of Mull, NW Scotland, preserves an ~120 m thick sequence of Palaeogene silicic pyroclastic rocks and collapse breccias.
