Ascent-driven crystallisation of dacite magmas at Mount St Helens, 1980–1986
Jon D Blundy,Kathy Cashman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel scheme was introduced that enables natural silicic glasses to be projected into the synthetic system Qz-Ab-Or-H2O in order to relate variations in volcanic glass chemistry to changing pressure (P) and temperature (T) conditions in the subvolcanic system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Petrologic Reconstruction of Magmatic System Variables and Processes
Jon D Blundy,Kathy Cashman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present some of the current petrological techniques that can be used for studying eruptive products and for constraining key magmatic variables such as pressure, temperature, and volatile content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magma heating by decompression-driven crystallization beneath andesite volcanoes
TL;DR: Recent work on glassy melt inclusions trapped in plagioclase crystals is extended to develop a method for tracking pressure–temperature–crystallinity paths in magma beneath two active andesite volcanoes, showing that the temperature of ascending magma increases by up to 100 °C, owing to the release of latent heat of crystallization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degassing and crystallization of ascending andesite and dacite
Kathy Cashman,Jon D Blundy +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present two complementary approaches to the study of syn-eruptive, degassing-induced crystallization, including projection of matrix glass compositions onto the well-understood Qz-Ab-Or ternary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid decompression-driven crystallization recorded by melt inclusions from Mount St Helens volcano
Jon D Blundy,Kathy Cashman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, ion-microprobe measurements of dissolved H 2 O in phenocryst-hosted melt inclusions from pumices erupted between May and October 1980 at Mount St. Helens volcano were used to show that all microlites and a significant proportion of phenocrysts were formed by near isothermal decompression.
