Volcanoes emit larger amounts of volcanic gas than can be dissolved in the volume of erupted magma during a variety of volcanic processes, including explosive and effusive eruption and noneruptive continuous degassing. Degassing of unerupted magma with a much larger volume than that of erupted magma caused such a large degassing; erupted magma represents only a small portion of the magma that drives volcanic activity. Evaluation of the magma‐gas differentiation process causing the excess…

Multiple magma degassing sources at an explosive volcano

Degassing during quiescence as a trigger of magma ascent and volcanic eruptions

It is demonstrated that magma ascent can be triggered by the passive release of gas during quiescence, which induces the opening of pathways connecting deep and shallow magma reservoirs, which contrasts with the more common bottom-up mechanisms in whichMagma ascent is only driven by processes occurring at depth.

On depressurization of volcanic magma reservoirs by passive degassing

Many active volcanoes around the world alternate episodes of unrest and mildly explosive eruptions with quiescent periods dominated by abundant but passive gas emissions. These are the so‐called…

Open-vent volcanoes fuelled by depth-integrated magma degassing

Open-vent, persistently degassing volcanoes—such as Stromboli and Etna (Italy), Villarrica (Chile), Bagana and Manam (Papua New Guinea), Fuego and Pacaya (Guatemala) volcanoes—produce high gas fluxes…

Bubble accumulation and its role in the evolution of magma reservoirs in the upper crust

This work investigates the fluid dynamics that controls the transport of the MVP in crystal-rich and crystal-poor magmas, and shows how the interplay between capillary stresses and the viscosity contrast between the MVP and the host melt results in a counterintuitive dynamics, whereby the MVP tends to migrate efficiently incry-rich parts of a magma reservoir and accumulate in crystals-poor regions.

The Role of Volatiles in the Genesis, Evolution and Eruption of ARC Magmas

The subduction zone volatile cycle is key to understanding the petrogenesis, transport, storage and eruption of arc magmas. Volatiles control the flux of slab components into the mantle wedge, are…

Persistent gas emission originating from a deep basaltic magma reservoir of an active volcano: the case of Aso volcano, Japan

Volcanic gas emission is considered to reflect the degassing of magma beneath volcanoes. The combined observations of gas measurement and petrological study are expected to constrain the volatile…

Pre-eruptive excess volatiles and their relationship to effusive and explosive eruption styles in semi-plugged volcanoes

Understanding the role of various factors influencing eruption style is challenging, but it can aid in adapting different hazard mitigations and crisis responses for explosive or effusive events.…
