Forecasting magma-chamber rupture at Santorini volcano, Greece [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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.

Deep magmatic processes of mafic layered intrusions in the Lala mining area, western Sichuan

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  Previous studies have shown that many layered intrusions are formed by multiple pulsations of magma. However, little research has been done on whether the magma involved in the pulsation process comes from a single magma chamber or multiple ...

Low Abundances of Ultramafic Components in the Chang'e‐6 Landing Site Basalt and Ejecta Material

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The South Pole‐Aitken (SPA) Basin, the Moon's largest impact structure, holds key insights into lunar evolution, prompting the Chang'e‐6 mission to return first samples for ground‐truth verification. Analysis of over 6,000 grains from the Chang'e‐6 soil returned from the SPA Basin reveals a composition dominated by clinopyroxene (26.5–32.9 vol.

Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 506-538, June 2026.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...

Petrological characteristics and volatile content of magma of the 1979, 1989, and 2014 eruptions of Nakadake, Aso volcano, Japan

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2018
Petrological observations and chemical analyses of melt inclusions in scoria were used to investigate the magma ascent and eruption processes of the 1979, 1989, and 2014 eruptions of Nakadake, Aso volcano, Japan. Major elements and sulfur contents of the

Progressively Fenitised Schist and Carbonatitic Clasts From a Metasomatic Aureole Beneath the Alkalic Dunedin Volcano, Otago, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Clasts of albite‐porphyroblastic quartzofeldspathic schist, derived from the Otago Schist basement, occur within the Port Chalmers Breccia, a diatreme at the centre of the Dunedin stratovolcano, New Zealand. Schists have undergone varying degrees of replacement reactions (at temperatures of 300° to >500°C) producing hornfelses, with Ca‐ and K‐enriched ...

An analytical model for gas overpressure in slug-driven explosions : insights into Strombolian volcanic eruptions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Strombolian eruptions, common at basaltic volcanoes, are mildly explosive events that are driven by a large bubble of magmatic gas (a slug) rising up the conduit and bursting at the surface.

Plagioclase as evidence of magmatic evolution in the Zafarqand porphyry copper deposit, NE Isfahan

open access: yesJournal of Economic Geology, 2018
Introduction Chemical and textural zoning patterns preserved in plagioclase phenocrysts can provide useful information on parameters that constrains the changing melt compositions in the magma systems.
