Traces of explosive volcanic eruptions in the Upper Ordovician of the Siberian Platform [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014 Ordovician K-bentonite beds have a long history of investigation all around the world. They have been reported from Gondwana, the Argentine Precordillera, the Yangtze Platform, Laurentia, Baltica, and numerous terrains between Gondwana and Baltica, which

Deep Learning Investigation of Mercury’s Explosive Volcanism
Remote Sensing, 2023 The remnants of explosive volcanism on Mercury have been observed in the form of vents and pyroclastic deposits, termed faculae, using data from the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer (MASCS) onboard the Mercury surface, space ...

Observing eruptions of gas-rich compressible magmas from space
Nature Communications, 2016 Satellite observations are an important tool in volcano monitoring, but observations such as ground deformation and gas emissions are treated independently. Here, the authors present a model coupling them through their link to magma volatile contents and

New 40Ar/39Ar dating of the Grande Ronde lavas, Columbia River Basalts, USA: Implications for duration of flood basalt eruption episodes [PDF]
, 2010 Grande Ronde Basalt (GRB) lavas represent the most voluminous eruptive pulse of the Columbia River-Snake River-Yellowstone hotspot volcanism. With an estimated eruptive volume of 150,000 km3, GRB lavas form at least 66% of the total volume of the ...

A uniform isotopic and chemical signature of dust exported from Patagonia: Rock sources and occurrence in southern environments [PDF]
, 2007 Patagonia is considered to be the most important source of dust from South America that is deposited in surrounding areas, and we present here a systematic Sr and Nd isotopic study of sediment currently being exported.

A subduction and mantle plume origin for Samoan volcanism
Scientific Reports, 2018 The origin of Samoan volcanism in the southwest Pacific remains enigmatic. Whether mantle melting is solely caused by a mantle plume is questionable because some volcanism, here referred to as non-hotspot volcanism, defies the plume model and its linear ...

Geodynamics and Rate of Volcanism on Massive Earth-like Planets [PDF]
, 2009 We provide estimates of volcanism versus time for planets with Earth-like composition and masses from 0.25 to 25 times Earth, as a step toward predicting atmospheric mass on extrasolar rocky planets. Volcanism requires melting of the silicate mantle.
