Space-time patterns of Cenozoic arc volcanism in central Mexico: From the Sierra Madre Occidental to the Mexican Volcanic Belt

TL;DR: A histogram of 778 isotopic ages of magmatic rocks younger than Eocene in central Mexico shows a multimodal distribution with peaks at about 30 Ma, 23 Ma, 10 Ma, and 5 Ma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal Control of Subduction Magmatism in the Eastern Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt: Mantle Sources, Slab Contributions, and Crustal Contamination

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied how temporal changes in subduction parameters influence convergent margin volcanism in the easternmost part of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.
Journal ArticleDOI

A voluminous avalanche-induced lahar from Citlaltépetl volcano, Mexico: Implications for hazard assessment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the origin of the Citlaltepetl lahar and found that it had an origin as a sector collapse of hydrothermally altered rock that transformed from a debris avalanche to a cohesive lahar very close to its source.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lateral vent migration during phreatomagmatic and magmatic eruptions at Tecuitlapa Maar, east-central Mexico

TL;DR: Tecuitlapa Maar as discussed by the authors is a late Quaternary, 100m-deep, > 1 km-diameter crater with an alignment of scoria cones, building in height to the east, within it.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative lahar hazard mapping at Volcan Citlaltépetl, Mexico using SRTM, ASTER and DTED-1 digital topographic data

TL;DR: In this article, the utility of spaceborne SRTM and ASTER DEMs with baseline DTED-1 topography for mapping lahar inundation hazards from volcan Citlaltepetl, Mexico, a volcano which has had a history of producing debris flows of various extents.
