The build-up and triggers of volcanic eruptions

L Caricchi, M Townsend, E Rivalta… - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2021 - nature.com
More than 800 million people live in proximity to active volcanoes and could be directly
impacted by potential eruptions. Mitigation of future volcanic hazards requires adequate …

Magma chambers: Formation, local stresses, excess pressures, and compartments

A Gudmundsson - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2012 - Elsevier
An existing magma chamber is normally a necessary condition for the generation of a large
volcanic edifice. Most magma chambers form through repeated magma injections …

E Pan - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The Green's function (GF) method, which makes use of GFs, is an important and elegant tool
for solving a given boundary-value problem for the differential equation from a real …

Magma injection into a long‐lived reservoir to explain geodetically measured uplift: Application to the 2007–2014 unrest episode at Laguna del Maule volcanic field …

Linking surface deformation to thermal and mechanical magma chamber processes

M Townsend - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2022 - Elsevier
Surface deformation at active volcanoes reflects a wide variety of magmatic and crustal

Unexpected large eruptions from buoyant magma bodies within viscoelastic crust

F Sigmundsson, V Pinel, R Grapenthin… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Large volume effusive eruptions with relatively minor observed precursory signals are at
odds with widely used models to interpret volcano deformation. Here we propose a new …

Numerical modelling of dykes deflected into sills to form a magma chamber

ZA Barnett, A Gudmundsson - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal …, 2014 - Elsevier
Most shallow magma chambers are thought to evolve from sills. For this to happen, several
conditions must be met.(1) There must be a discontinuity, normally a contact, that deflects a …

Surface deformations and gravity changes caused by pressurized finite ellipsoidal cavities

M Nikkhoo, E Rivalta - Geophysical Journal International, 2023 - academic.oup.com
