Magma reservoir dynamics at Toba caldera, Indonesia, recorded by oxygen isotope zoning in quartz

Quartz is a common phase in high-silica igneous rocks and is resistant to post-eruptive alteration, thus offering a reliable record of magmatic processes in silicic magma systems. Here we employ the 75 ka Toba super-eruption as a case study to show that quartz can resolve late-stage temporal changes...
