Non-Newtonian rheology of crystal-bearing magmas and implications for magma ascent dynamics
Luca Caricchi,L. Burlini,Peter Ulmer,Taras Gerya,Melissa Vassalli,Melissa Vassalli,Paolo Papale +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of high-temperature, high-pressure experiments at conditions relevant for volcanic conduits were undertaken to investigate the rheology of magma with crystal fractions varying between 0.5 and 0.8 at different strain-rate conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for the rheology of particle-bearing suspensions and partially molten rocks
TL;DR: An edited version of this paper was published by AGU. Copyright (2009) American Geophysical Union (AGU) as discussed by the authors, which is a publication of AGU's Journal of Geophysical Research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency and magnitude of volcanic eruptions controlled by magma injection and buoyancy
TL;DR: In this article, the global frequency of volcanic eruptions is inversely proportional to the volume of magma erupted in a single event, and it was shown that frequent, small eruptions are triggered by injections of magmas into the reservoir, but rare, giant supervolcano eruptions were triggered by magma buoyancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degassing processes during lava dome growth: insights from Santiaguito lava dome, Guatemala
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution SO2 emission rate measurements collected with an ultra violet imaging camera at Santiaguito, Guatemala were used to better understand degassing processes during lava dome extrusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tempo of magma degassing and the genesis of porphyry copper deposits.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the volume and duration of magmatic activity exert a first order control on the endowment of economic porphyry copper deposits, and initial magma enrichment in copper and sulphur, although adding to the metallogenic potential, is not necessary to form a giant deposit.
