TL;DR: Dome growth at the Soufriere Hills volcano (1996 to 1998) was frequently accompanied by repetitive cycles of earthquakes, ground deformation, degassing, and explosive eruptions, which allowed short-term forecasting of timing, and of eruption style related to explosivity potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Episodes of cyclic Vulcanian explosive activity with fountain collapse at Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat
Timothy H. Druitt,S. R. Young,Brian Baptie,Costanza Bonadonna,Eliza S. Calder,Amanda Clarke,Paul D. Cole,C. L. Harford,Richard A. Herd,R. Luckett,G. Ryan,Barry Voight +11 more
TL;DR: In 1997, the Soufriere Hills Volcano on Montserrat produced 88 Vulcanian explosions, with an initial high-intensity phase lasting a few tens of seconds and a lower-intensity, waning phase lasting 1 to 3 hours as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth patterns and emplacement of the andesitic lava dome at Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat
TL;DR: The Soufriere Hills Volcano on Montserrat allowed the detailed documentation of a Pelean dome-forming eruption as discussed by the authors, which produced over 0.3 km 3 of crystal-rich andesitic lava.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of the eruption of Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat, 18 July 1995 to December 1997
S. R. Young,R. Steven J. Sparks,Willy Aspinall,Lloyd Lynch,A. D. Miller,Richard Robertson,John B. Shepherd +6 more
TL;DR: The onset of phreatic volcanic activity at the Soufriere Hills volcano, Montserrat on 18 July 1995 followed a three-year period of heightened volcano-seismic activity beneath the island as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of magma mixing in triggering the current eruption at the Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat, West Indies
M. D. Murphy,R. S. J. Sparks,Jenni Barclay,Michael R. Carroll,A. M. Lejeune,T. S. Brewer,Ray Macdonald,Stuart Black,S. R. Young +8 more
TL;DR: The andesite lava currently erupting at the Soufriere Hills volcano, Montserrat, contains ubiquitous mafic inclusions which show evidence of having been molten when incorporated into the andesites.
