Defining the conditions that lead to the rupture of a magma chamber is essential to forecast eruptions. So far, models simulating magma chamber dynamics have neglected the effects of elastic thermal expansion in the host ...

This contribution presents a numerical model of time-dependent physical processes and differentiation in a cooling magma chamber to obtain the magma and liquid composition and model the distribution of minerals and H2O ...

© 2024 Elsevier B.V.The formation of a collapse caldera requires the nucleation of circumferential ring-faults that connect an underlying magma chamber with the Earth's surface. The roof of the magma chamber collapses as ...

Magnetotelluric studies were carried out in 1993 and 2008 inside the caldera of Copahue Volcanic Complex, located in South America, at the border between Chile and Argentina (37°45ʹ S; 71°10.2ʹ W). The main effusive centre ...

The physical processes that operate within, and beneath, a volcano control the frequency, duration, location and size of volcanic eruptions. Volcanotectonics focuses on such processes, combining techniques, data, and ideas ...

Within the volcanological community there is a growing awareness that many large- to small-scale, point-source eruptive events can be fed by multiple melt bodies rather than from a single magma reservoir. In this study, ...
