Magma convection favors ephemeral melt-rich bodies within mushy reservoirs [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMagma convection is a mechanism that greatly enhances heat transfer from mobilizable, crystal-poor magma bodies to the surrounding immobile, crystal-rich mush reservoir of Earth’s igneous systems.

Magma reservoir growth and ground deformation preceding the 79 CE Plinian eruption of Vesuvius [PDF]
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 The 79 CE eruption of Vesuvius is the first documented Plinian eruption, also famous for the archaeological ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Although much is known regarding the eruption dynamics and magma reservoir, little is known about the reservoir ...

Redox and magma recharge controls on excess sulfur build-up at Mount Samalas, 1257 CE [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe 1257 CE eruption of Mount Samalas (Indonesia) caused the largest stratospheric sulfur injection of the Common Era, as recorded by Greenland and Antarctic ice cores, and led to strong climate perturbations.

Scenario-based forecast of the evolution of 75 years of unrest at Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentCampi Flegrei last erupted in 1538 and periods of increased seismicity, gas emission and ground deformation occurred in the 50’s, 70’s 80’s and are ongoing since 2005.

The crustal magma reservoir geometry and seismic activity beneath the Wudalianchi volcano in northeast China: implications for the multilevel magmatic system [PDF]
Solid EarthUnderstanding the spatial correlation between crustal magma reservoirs and seismicity is crucial for investigating the dynamics of volcanic systems. However, due to the relatively low resolution of existing crustal tomography, especially for the middle ...

Mount St. Helens Retrospective: Lessons Learned Since 1980 and Remaining Challenges
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 Since awakening from a 123-year repose in 1980, Mount St. Helens has provided an opportunity to study changes in crustal magma storage at an active arc volcano—a process of fundamental importance to eruption forecasting and hazards mitigation.
