Volcanology of tuff rings at Kellyville, Onewhero and Bombay, South Auckland Volcanic Field

open access: yes, 2011
The South Auckland volcanic field hosts 82 volcanic centres over an area of approximately 300 km2 in the Pukekohe, Bombay, Tuakau, Pukekawa and Onewhero regions. The intraplate, monogenetic basaltic volcanic field was active between 1.59 and 0.51 Ma, and

Heat flow from the Earth interior as indicator of deep processes

open access: yesGeoresursy, 2018
The energy aspects of the problem of intraterrestrial heat transfer in various forms are discussed. Endogenous causes of conductive heat flow dispersion − radiogenic heat generation, tectonic movements and magmatism (volcanism), including its latent and ...

Volcanism on Mercury

open access: yes, 2019
Mercury's volcanic nature has been revealed by NASA's MESSENGER mission. We now know that all, or most, of the surface has, at some point, been flooded by lavas, sometimes in extremely voluminous eruptions. The ages of Mercury's lava surfaces reveal that

FORMATION CONDITIONS OF AGATES [PDF]

open access: yesМинералогия, 2017
Agates are formed at various temperatures, which covers a wide range from those of basaltic and andesitic melts (above 1100 °С) to several tens of centigrade, but at rather low pressures. Their formation in liquid mafic magmas is indicated by correlation

Catastrophic volcanism

open access: yes, 1988
Since primitive times, catastrophes due to volcanic activity have been vivid in the mind of man, who knew that his activities in many parts of the world were threatened by lava flows, mudflows, and ash falls.

Past-Forwarding Ancient Calamities. Pathways for Making Archaeology Relevant in Disaster Risk Reduction Research

open access: yesHumanities, 2017
Despite the alleged mastery of humans over nature, contemporary societies are acutely vulnerable to natural hazards. In interaction with vulnerable communities, these transform into catastrophes.

Models of ice melting and edifice growth during subglacial basaltic eruptions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Models of the early stages of basaltic eruptions beneath temperate glaciers are presented that consider the evolving sizes of volcanic edifices emplaced within subglacial cavities.

Phanerozoic volcanism

open access: yes, 2012
Oceanic volcanism can be understood in terms of decompression melting (ridges), addition of water to dry mantle (arcs) and possible involvement of high temperature mantle (ocean islands and plateaux).
