When considering the rheology of a suspension the fundamental physical aspect to be
quantified is the redistribution of strain between the deformable matrix fraction of the …

The majority of basaltic magmas stall in the Earth's crust as a result of the rheological
evolution caused by crystallization during transport. However, the relationships between …

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 …

Piton de la Fournaise, situated on La Réunion Island (France), is one of the most active hot
spot basaltic shield volcanoes worldwide, experiencing at least two eruptions per year since …

Magmas often experience severe disequilibrium conditions during their migration through
the Earth's crust and the subsequent emplacement on its surface. During their transport …

Melt viscosity is one of the most critical physical properties controlling magma transport
dynamics and eruptive style. Although viscosity measurements are widely used to study and …

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 …

Small-volume proximal-summit eruptions, sometimes with only little precursors, are common
at Piton de la Fournaise (La Reunion Island, France). Their eruptive style ranges from …

The pāhoehoe—'a 'ā morphological transition involves a change in the rheological response
of the magmatic suspension from pure viscous to complex rheological behavior, resulting in …

New viscosity experiments at superliquidus temperatures and during cooling at a rate of 10
K/hr have been performed at different shear rates on a synthetic pyroxenite melt. Results …
