We review the numerous experimental studies dedicated to unravelling the physics and
dynamics of various parts of a volcanic plumbing system. Section 1 lists the model materials …

The structure of upper crustal magma plumbing systems controls the distribution of
volcanism and influences tectonic processes. However, delineating the structure and …

The magmatic components of continental Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) include flood
basalts and their plumbing system of giant mafic dyke swarms (radiating, linear, and the …

Quantification of fluid generation during contact metamorphism of shale is important for the
understanding of metamorphic processes, fluid flow in sedimentary basins and perturbations …

Gondwana was an enormous supertarrane. At its peak, it represented a landmass of about
100× 10 6 km 2 in size, corresponding to approximately 64% of all land areas today …

The movement of magma in sedimentary basins often occurs through an extensive and
interconnected complex of sills. Field‐, modelling‐, and seismic reflection‐based studies …

Even though dykes are the main upward magma pathways through the Earth's crust, the last
two decades of research showed that significant parts of volcano plumbing systems consist …

Seismic reflection data and field observations have revealed the presence of voluminous
igneous sill complexes emplaced into organic-rich shale formations in sedimentary basins …

When a batch of magma reaches Earth's surface, it forms a vent from which volcanic
products are erupted. At many volcanoes, successive batches may open vents far away from …

Field and seismic observations show that numerous sills exhibit lobate morphologies. Each
lobe corresponds to a distinct igneous segment exhibiting a finger-like shape, the long axis …
