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.

Thermal properties of vesicular rhyolite [PDF]
Thermal diffusivity of rhyolite melt and rhyolite foam (70–80% porosity) has been measured using the radial heat transfer method. Cylindrical samples (length 50–55 mm, diameter 22 mm) of rhyolite melt and foam have been derived by heating samples of ...

The incrementally zoned Miocene Ayagaures ignimbrite (Gran Canaria, Canary Islands) [PDF]
The 20–25 m thick trachyphonolitic Ayagaures ignimbrite cooling unit [(AY); 11.8 Ma] exposed over 250 km2 (onshore volume ca. 4.5 km3 DRE) is the uppermost and most voluminous cooling unit of the Middle Fataga Formation (MFF), part of the Fataga Group ...

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 chamber formation by magma intrusion into the Earth’s crust
<p>The main mechanism of transport of magma in the Earth&#8217;s crust is the formation of cracks, or dikes, through which the melt moves towards the surface under the action of buoyancy forces and tectonic stresses.

Micro-analytical perspectives on the Bishop Tuff and its Magma Chamber [PDF]
New in situ major and trace element analytical data are presented for crystals (sanidine, plagioclase, biotite, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene) and matrix glasses from juvenile materials representing the full Bishop Tuff sequence from the earliest fall ...

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.

The large-scale surface uplift in the Altiplano-Puna region of Bolivia: A parametric study of source characteristics and crustal rheology using finite element analysis [PDF]
This paper focuses on the driving mechanism behind a 70 km wide region of ground uplift centered on Uturuncu volcano, in the Altiplano-Puna region of southern Bolivia.

Arc volcanoes are underlain by complex systems of molten‐rock reservoirs ranging from melt‐poor mush zones to melt‐rich magma chambers. Petrological and satellite data indicate that eruptible magma chambers form in the topmost few kilometres of the crust.
