Monitoring the activity of subglacial volcanoes along the Aleutian Arc in Alaska is important to the safety of local populations, as well as air traffic flying through the region.

A 5-km-thick reservoir with > 380,000 km3 of magma within the ancient Earth's crust
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.

Maars to calderas. End-members on a spectrum of explosive volcanic depressions [PDF]
We discuss maar-diatremes and calderas as end-members on a spectrum of negative volcanic landforms (depressions) produced by explosive eruptions (note—we focus on calderas formed during explosive eruptions, recognizing that some caldera types are not ...

Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions
Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

Dynamics of Magma Mixing in Partially Crystallized Magma Chambers: Textural and Petrological Constraints from the Basal Complex of the Austurhorn Intrusion (SE Iceland) [PDF]
The Tertiary Austurhorn intrusive complex in SE Iceland represents an exhumed magma chamber that has recorded an extensive history of magma mixing and mingling.

Magmatic karst reveals dynamics of crystallization and differentiation in basaltic magma chambers
An understanding of magma chamber dynamics relies on answering three important yet highly controversial questions: where, why, and how magma chambers crystallize and differentiate.

Magma flow through elastic-walled dikes [PDF]
A convection–diffusion model for the averaged flow of a viscous, incompressible magma through an elastic medium is considered. The magma flows through a dike from a magma reservoir to the Earth’s surface; only changes in dike width and velocity over ...

SO2 emissions from basaltic eruptions, and the excess sulfur issue [PDF]
Volcanic SO2 can affect the Earth's environment. Where no direct measurements of SO2 in the atmosphere are available, a petrologic method of assessing sulfur release from the magma must be used.

Geometry of the magma chamber beneath Damavand volcano (N Iran) from a joint study of gravity and magnetic data [PDF]
Imaging the intra-sediment magma chamber in the Damavand region, northern Iran, is beyond the resolution of the local seismic observations. Gravity anomalies can precisely image the lateral extension of magma reservoir.
