Plagioclase as archive of magma ascent dynamics on “open conduit” volcanoes: the 2001–2006 eruptive period at Mt. Etna
PP Giacomoni, C Ferlito, M Coltorti, C Bonadiman… - Earth-Science …, 2014 - Elsevier
Plagioclase is the most common phenocryst in all Etnean magmatic suites (~ 50% in
volume), as well as in most lavas erupted worldwide. Its stability field is strongly dependent …

Cooling history of a dike as revealed by mineral chemistry: a case study from Mt. Etna volcano
Seven rock samples were systematically collected from innermost to the outermost portion of
a dike outcropping at Mt. Etna volcano. Results show that, from dike core-to-rim, plagioclase …

Solidification and turbulence (non-laminar) during magma ascent: insights from 2D and 3D analyses of bubbles and minerals in an Etnean dyke
Solidification, emplacement and fluid dynamics of a sub-volcanic rock at Mt Etna have been
investigated through two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) textural analyses of …

Regimes of magma recharge and their control on the eruptive behaviour during the period 2001–2005 at Mt. Etna volcano
Abstract Mount Etna volcano (Italy) during the period 2001–2005 has undergone a period of
intense eruptive activity marked by three large eruptions (2001, 2002–2003 and 2004 …

Crustal root shapes the plumbing system of a monogenetic volcanic field as revealed by magnetotelluric data
The plumbing systems of subduction-zone volcanoes consist of magma reservoirs with
different degrees of evolution at multiple depths. The geometries of plumbing system of …

Transient uprise of gas and gas-rich magma batches fed the pulsating behavior of the 2006 eruptive episodes at Mt. Etna volcano
Volcanic rock samples were systematically collected during the 2006 eruptive episodes at
Mt. Etna. Major and trace elements, together with Sr–Pb isotope ratios, were then obtained …
