The mechanisms and timescales of magmatic evolution during storage in crustal reservoirs
and ascent in the volcanic conduit exert an important control on both the evolution of …

Trigger mechanisms and syn-eruptive processes of Plinian eruptions are poorly understood
especially in the case of mafic powerful events. In the last decades, the combined …

In recent decades, geophysical investigations have detected wide magma reservoirs
beneath quiescent calderas. However, the discovery of partially melted horizons inside the …

In this work we analyze the morphology of latitic enclaves occurring in the rhyolitic lava flow
of Pietre Cotte (Island of Vulcano, Italy). We show that enclave morphology is a feature …

The intense explosive and effusive volcanic activity of the last 1000 years at La Fossa
volcano (Vulcano Island, Italy) was characterized by the eruption of magmas ranging in …

Textural evidence from occurrences of mingled magmas in lava flows often yields insights
into chemical and thermal disequilibrium between multiple magma batches at depth. An …

A systematic study of textural and compositional zoning (An% and FeO variation) in
plagioclase phenocrysts of historic (pre-1971) and recent (post-1971) lavas at Mount Etna …

A multi-disciplinary study, integrating volcanological field observations, petrography, whole
rock geochemistry and textural and compositional analyses on plagioclase crystals has …

An integrated petrological and geochemical study on plagioclase crystals erupted at
Vulcano Island (Aeolian Islands, Southern Italy) over the past 1000 years allowed us to draw …

Abstract Volcanism at Mt. Etna (Italy) started with an early tholeiitic stage dating back to 542
ka during which subaqueous to subaerial magmas were emitted chiefly through fissure-type …
