Volcanism in Iceland in historical time: Volcano types, eruption styles and eruptive history
TLDR
In this paper, the authors identified 205 eruptions in historical time by detailed mapping and dating of events along with extensive research on documentation of volcanic activity in historical chronicles and classified them into three categories: effusive, effusive and mixed.About:

TL;DR: Lateral dyke growth with segment barrier breaking by pressure build-up in the dyke distal end explains how focused upwelling of magma under central volcanoes is effectively redistributed over long distances to create new upper crust at divergent plate boundaries.

TL;DR: The 39-day long eruption at the summit of Eyjafjallajökull volcano in April–May 2010 was of modest size but ash was widely dispersed, combining data from ground surveys and remote sensing to show that the erupted material was 4.8±1.2·1011 kg.

Magma chambers: Formation, local stresses, excess pressures, and compartments
TL;DR: In this paper, the in-situ tensile strength of a magma-chamber is estimated based on hydraulic fracture measurements in drill-holes worldwide down to crustal depths of about 9 km.

TL;DR: It is concluded that interaction between the pressure exerted by the subsiding reservoir roof and the physical properties of the subsurface flow path explain the gradual near-exponential decline of both the collapse rate and the intensity of the 180-day-long eruption of the Bárdarbunga volcano.

Explosive volcanic eruptions — a new classification scheme
TL;DR: In this paper, a classification of pyroclastic fall deposits is proposed based on measurements made on the resulting pyro-clastic-fall deposits, the significant parameters being the area of dispersal and degree of fragmentation of the material.
