Savanyú vulkáni üvegek ásványtan-geokémiai vizsgálata, petrológiai és vulkanológiai kiértékelése = Mineralogical and geochemical study of acid volcanic glasses, and its interpretation from petrological and volcanological point of view [PDF]
Változatos lemeztektonikai környezetben képződött obszidián minták fő- és nyomelemtartalmának összehasonlító vizsgálata során megállapítottuk, hogy az eredetileg gránitokra kidolgozott diszkriminációs diagramok alkalmazhatók a savanyú kiömlési kőzetek ...

Sublimation Temperature of Circumstellar Dust Particles and Its Importance for Dust Ring Formation [PDF]
Dust particles in orbit around a star drift toward the central star by the Poynting-Robertson effect and pile up by sublimation. We analytically derive the pile-up magnitude, adopting a simple model for optical cross sections.

Origin of Silicic Magmatism at the Katla Volcanic Complex, South Iceland
Abstract The Katla volcano is a bimodal caldera complex within Iceland's basalt‐dominated Eastern Volcanic Zone. To unravel the petrogenesis of silica‐rich rocks from Katla, we provide new δ18O values for almost 60 basaltic, intermediate, and high‐silica eruptive rocks, including a number of partially melted felsic xenoliths.

The potential of obsidian "big data"
Studies of obsidian provenance have been a core component of the archaeological sciences from the mid-1960s onward. With the growing application of portable X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometers (PXRF) in obsidian research, the number of such studies, and the
