Near-surface magma flow instability drives cyclic lava fountaining at Fagradalsfjall, Iceland

Abstract Lava fountains are a common manifestation of basaltic volcanism. While magma degassing plays a clear key role in their generation, the controls on their duration and intermittency are only partially understood, not least due to the challenges of measuring the most abundant gases, H2O and CO...
