Here we explore and review some of the latest ideas and applications of Raman spectroscopy to the volcanological sciences. Firstly, we provide a brief overview of how …
An increasing number of studies are being presented demonstrating that volcanic glasses can be heterogeneous at the nanoscale. These nano-heterogeneities can develop both …
The most viscous volcanic melts and the largest explosive eruptions on our planet consist of calcalkaline rhyolites,. These eruptions have the potential to influence global climate. The …
The effect of iron content and iron nanolites on Raman spectra of hydrous geologically- relevant glasses is presented. Current procedures to estimate the water content using …
Iron and water content substantially affect the physical properties of natural silicate melts and may, therefore, influence magmatic and volcanic processes such as crystallization …
Plinian-type eruptions are extremely hazardous, producing pyroclastic fallout and flows extending many kilometres from the vent. The most commonly invoked eruption trigger for …
A series of synthetic Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB) glasses with Fe3+/FeTOT from 0 to 1, determined previously by Mössbauer spectroscopy, were used to test methods for …
A correlation between Raman spectra of silicate glasses and their chemical composition is investigated using a collection of 31 natural multicomponent silicate glasses. The sample …
The physical properties of silicate melts are of critical importance for understanding magmatic and volcanic processes on Earth and other planets. Most physical properties of …
