Orientation of the eruption fissures controlled by a shallow magma chamber in Miyakejima
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2016 Orientation of the eruption fissures and composition of the lavas of the Miyakejima volcano indicate tectonic influence of a shallow magma chamber on the distribution of eruption fissures.

Feeding of a magma chamber by an ascending magma bubble [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2021 SUMMARY There is evidence that magma chambers are not fed by a continuous flow, but in the form of discrete magma batches. The possibility is considered that the chamber is fed by a magma bubble ascending through the region underneath, driven by buoyancy force.

Thermal model of the Vesuvius magma chamber [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2006 A thermal modeling of the Vesuvius is presented, based on its magmatic and volcanic history. A 2D numerical scheme has been developed to evaluate the heat transfer inside and around a magma body, the latent heat of crystallization and the inputs of magma from the asthenosphere to a crustal reservoir.

Magma evolution inside the 1631 Vesuvius magma chamber and eruption triggering
Open Geosciences, 2017 Vesuvius is a high-risk volcano and the 1631 Plinian eruption is a reference event for the next episode of explosive unrest. A complete stratigraphic and petrographic description of 1631 pyroclastics is given in this study.

An upper-crust lid over the Long Valley magma chamber. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2023 Geophysical characterization of calderas is fundamental in assessing their potential for future catastrophic volcanic eruptions. The mechanism behind the unrest of Long Valley Caldera in California remains highly debated, with recent periods of uplift ...

Forecasting magma-chamber rupture at Santorini volcano, Greece. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 How much magma needs to be added to a shallow magma chamber to cause rupture, dyke injection, and a potential eruption? Models that yield reliable answers to this question are needed in order to facilitate eruption forecasting.

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 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.

The Rustenburg Layered Suite formed as a stack of mush with transient magma chambers
Nature Communications, 2021 The Rustenburg Layered Suite of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, has long been regarded as a textbook result of fractional crystallization from a melt-dominated magma chamber.

A 5-km-thick reservoir with > 380,000 km3 of magma within the ancient Earth's crust
Scientific Reports, 2022 Several recent studies have argued that large, long-lived and molten magma chambers may not occur in the shallow Earth’s crust. Here we present, however, field-based observations from the Bushveld Complex that provide evidence to the contrary.
