A Rapidly Convecting Lava Lake at Masaya Volcano, Nicaragua [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 Lava lakes provide a rare opportunity to study conduit flow processes through direct observation of the exposed magma surface. The recent lava lake activity at Masaya volcano (Nicaragua), which commenced in 2015, displayed several unusual phenomena.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Insights into the recurrent energetic eruptions that drive Awu, among the deadliest volcanoes on Earth [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 The little-known Awu volcano (Sangihe Islands, Indonesia) is among the deadliest, with a cumulative death toll of 11 048. In less than 4 centuries, 18 eruptions were recorded, including two VEI 4 and three VEI 3 eruptions with worldwide impacts ...

High level sill and dyke intrusions initiated from rapidly buried mafic lava flows in scoria cones of Tongoa, Vanuatu (New Hebrides), South Pacific [PDF]
, 2006 Scoria cones are generally considered to grow rapidly in days to weeks or months. During their growth lava flows may be fed onto the cone surface from lava-lake breaches, or form by coalescence of spatter; such flows are preserved interbedded with scoria

Modeling the Intermittent Lava Lake Drops Occurring Between 2015 and 2021 at Nyiragongo Volcano
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Between 2015 and 2021, Nyiragongo's lava lake level experienced a linear increase punctuated by fast intermittent drops. These drops occurred synchronously to seismic swarm at approximately 15 km below the surface and extending laterally NE from the ...

The Basaltic Monogenetic Volcanic Field of the Bakony–Balaton UNESCO Global Geopark, Hungary: From Science to Geoeducation and Geotourism [PDF]
Geoconservation Research, 2023 As a part of the long-standing volcanism of the Carpathian–Pannonian Region, a basaltic monogenetic volcanic field developed here from 8–2.3 Ma. This is a specific type of volcanism, when mostly a small volume of magma erupts intermittently and always in

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Lava lakes are a fascinating but somewhat rare form of volcanic activity. Lava lakes are large free surfaces of hot lava that discharge continuously, and almost quietly, heat and volcanic gases into the atmosphere.

Proceedings, 2022 The Arxan–Chaihe volcanic field (ACVF) is a Pliocene to recent intracontinental monogenetic volcanic field. Within the ACVF, at least 47 vents are preserved in a ~2000 km2 area, forming two major NE-SW trending structural elements. The youngest eruptions

Recent activity at Nyiragongo and lava-like occurrences [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1985 The behaviour of Nyiragongo, before and after its outbreak on January 10th, 1977, as compared with the behaviour of the other two volcanoes containing subpermanent lava-lakes nowadays, Erta'Ale and Mount Erebus, suggests that the considerable convection ...
