Excess explosivity driven by melt inclusions during the 946 CE Plinian eruption of Baekdusan

Abstract Melt inclusions readily rupture and form gas bubbles during explosive volcanic eruptions, but their role as a volcanic gas source remains enigmatic. Here, we examined a pumice texture generated by the instantaneous bursting of melt inclusions during the 946 CE Plinian eruption at Baekdusan....
