Top–down control on eruptive style at Masaya volcano inferred from melt composition
Understanding basaltic Plinian activity at Masaya caldera, Nicaragua
<p>Plinian eruptions are the most hazardous yet enigmatic style of volcanism at basaltic systems. The low viscosity of basaltic magma should preclude its fragmentation; however, there are several…
Crystallization of peralkaline rhyolitic magmas: pre- and syn-eruptive conditions of the Pantelleria system
Pantelleritic magmas are low-viscosity peralkaline rhyolites which exhibit large differences in eruptive style (explosive to effusive). The processes that promote fragmentation and explosive…

Mafic explosive volcanism at Llaima Volcano: 3D x-ray microtomography reconstruction of pyroclasts to constrain shallow conduit processes
Mafic volcanic activity is dominated by effusive to mildly explosive eruptions. Plinian and ignimbrite-forming mafic eruptions, while rare, are also possible; however, the conditions that promote…
Magma Pressure-Temperature-Time Paths During Mafic Explosive Eruptions
We have constrained syneruptive pressure-temperature-time (P-T-t) paths of mafic magmas using a combination of short-timescale cooling and decompression chronometers. Recent work has shown that the…
High-temperature oxidation of proximal basaltic pyroclasts, 1886 Tarawera, New Zealand
Microlite crystallization in erupting basalt can occur in the conduit, in flight, or in situ after deposition. Distinguishing the products of primary versus secondary (post-fragmentation)…
Porosity-permeability relationships in crystal-rich basalts from Plinian eruptions
Magma permeability allows release of exsolved and pressurized volatiles during magma ascent, potentially modulating explosive volcanic eruptions. While porosity-permeability relationships in the…
Highly explosive basaltic eruptions driven by CO2 exsolution
TLDR
Evidence is presented for an exsolved CO 2 phase ~15 km beneath Sunset Crater that was the critical driver of rapid magma ascent leading to the explosive eruption of the most explosive basaltic scoria cone eruption yet documented.

Influence of pre-eruptive storage conditions and volatile contents on explosive Plinian style eruptions of basic magma
Sub-Plinian to Plinian eruptions of basic magma present a challenge to modeling volcanic behavior because many models rely on magma becoming viscous enough during ascent to behave brittlely and cause…
