Venus: A Thick Basal Magma Ocean May Exist Today

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
Basal magma oceans develop in Earth and Venus after accretion as their mantles solidify from the middle outward. Fractional crystallization of the basal mantle is buffered by the core and radiogenic and latent heat in the magma ocean.

Modeling the Intermittent Lava Lake Drops Occurring Between 2015 and 2021 at Nyiragongo Volcano

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Between 2015 and 2021, Nyiragongo's lava lake level experienced a linear increase punctuated by fast intermittent drops. These drops occurred synchronously to seismic swarm at approximately 15 km below the surface and extending laterally NE from the ...

Zircon and Melt Extraction From a Long‐Lived and Vertically Extensive Magma System Underneath Ilopango Caldera (El Salvador)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The Tierra Blanca (TB) eruptive suite comprises the last four major eruptions of Ilopango caldera in El Salvador (≤45 ka), including the youngest Tierra Blanca Joven eruption (TBJ; ∼106 km3): the most voluminous event during the Holocene in Central ...

Melt re-injection into large magma reservoir after giant caldera eruption at Kikai Caldera Volcano

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Melt re-injection after a giant caldera eruption was quantitatively investigated for the Kikai Caldera Volcano in Japan, which erupted 7300 years ago (Kikai-Akahoya eruption). Our seismic refraction survey revealed a low-velocity anomaly directly beneath

Evolution of a silicic magma reservoir in the upper crust : Reyðarártindur pluton, Southeast Iceland

open access: yes, 2022
Field observations of extinct and exposed magma reservoirs shed light on processes operating in the roots of presently active volcanoes. The Reyðarártindur pluton, Southeast Iceland is an example of a fossil shallow magma reservoir that fed eruptions ...

The Mechanics of Multiphase Magmas: A Perspective from the Scale of Crystals and Bubbles to Magma Reservoirs

open access: yesAnnual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences
The interplay between melt, crystals, and volatile bubbles controls the physical properties of magmas in Earth's crust, the rate of phase separation, and, by extension, chemical differentiation. The mechanical processes that couple crystals, bubbles, and melt are nonlinear, and their expression in magmatic systems can vary greatly with the relative ...

Probing Magma Reservoirs to Improve Volcano Forecasts

open access: yesEos, 2017
The roots of volcanoes remain enigmatic, largely because geophysical and petrological models remain rudimentary. Scientific drilling and exploration can help.

Modeling of Eruption Intervals and Durations by a Simple Magma System: the RC Magma System Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Eruption intervals and durations are controlled by various parameters of subsurface magma system including sizes of magma reservoirs and conduits, viscosity of magma, and magma supply rates. For the purpose of examining the effects of these parameters on

Volcanic unrest as seen from the magmatic source: Reyðarártindur pluton, Iceland

open access: yesScientific Reports
How the Earth’s crust accommodates magma emplacement influences the signals that can be detected by monitoring volcano seismicity and surface deformation, which are routinely used to forecast volcanic eruptions.

Maars to calderas: end-members on a spectrum of explosive volcanic depressions

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2015
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 ...
