Modeling the priming mechanisms of phreatic eruptions: challenges and possible solutions

open access: yes, 2023
To the present date, no phreatic eruption has been successfully forecasted, as this kind of eruption lacks clear and univocal precursory signals. Understanding how deep magmatic gas and heat fluxes interact with groundwater systems and prime phreatic eruptions is thus of pivotal importance.

Atmospheric and environmental effects of the 1783-1784 Laki eruption: A review and reassessment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The 1783–1784 Laki flood lava eruption in Iceland emitted ∼122 megatons (Mt) SO2 into the atmosphere and maintained a sulfuric aerosol veil that hung over the Northern Hemisphere for >5 months. The eruption columns extended to 9–13 km and released ∼95

Insights Into the Mechanisms of Phreatic Eruptions From Continuous High Frequency Volcanic Gas Monitoring: Rincón de la Vieja Volcano, Costa Rica

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Understanding the trigger mechanisms of phreatic eruptions is key to mitigating the effects of these hazardous but poorly forecastable volcanic events.

Block and Bomb Field of the 1888–1890 CE Eruption at La Fossa Cone (Vulcano, Aeolian Islands): Constraints on Conduit Stratigraphy and Eruptive Dynamics

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Vulcanian eruptions are classically associated with the launch of ballistic ejecta and particularly with the production of breadcrust bombs. Morpho‐textural analysis of these ejecta provides critical insight into the poorly constrained processes controlling the complex dynamics of Vulcanian activity.

The 1723 AD violent Strombolian and phreatomagatic eruption at Irazu volcano (Costa Rica) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The largest of the recorded historic eruptions at Irazú volcano began on February 16, 1723 and lasted until at least December 11. We here critically examine deposits of this eruption exposed on the summit of Irazú. Our reconstruction of the eruption is

Seismic Tremor as a Precursor to Hydrothermal Explosions Near Mutnovsky Volcano (Kamchatka)

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Mutnovsky Volcano, ∼70 km SW of Petropavlovsk‐Kamchatsky, exhibits persistent degassing, hosts active hydrothermal springs and the Mutnovsky Geothermal Power Plant (MGPP) on its slopes. Using the network covariance matrix approach, we analyzed seismic data recorded in 2023–2024 by 15 seismic stations operating around Mutnovsky Volcano.

Accurate hindcasting of explosive eruptions at Whakaari, New Zealand

open access: yesVolcanica
Phreatic eruptions are small, sudden events, commonly with few precursory signals. They are driven by interactions between magmatic and hydrothermal processes at shallow levels beneath the surface.

A quest for unrest in multiparameter observations at Whakaari/White Island volcano, New Zealand 2007–2018

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2021
The Whakaari/White Island volcano, located ~ 50 km off the east coast of the North Island in New Zealand, has experienced sequences of quiescence, unrest, magmatic and phreatic eruptions over the last decades.

Emplacement Conditions and Alteration of Volcanic Deposits Inferred From Magnetic Properties of the ICDP Eger Drill Site S4 (Bažina Maar), Czechia

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Titanomagnetite in alkaline maar deposits exhibits variable syn‐ and post‐crystallization alteration linked to wet emplacement and groundwater fluctuations, which remain poorly documented. Magnetic and mineralogical analyses of lapilli, scoria, and basalt from ICDP Eger drill cores S4 and S4b (Bažina maar, western Eger Graben, Czechia) reveal ...

Depositional record of historic lahars in the Whangaehu Gorge, Mt. Ruapehu [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Mt. Ruapehu is one of the most lahar prone volcanoes in the world, having both a crater lake and six small glaciers upon its 2797 m summit. The major outlet for the crater lake, the Whangaehu Gorge, has hosted over 46 historic lahars.
