Magma ascent rates in explosive eruptions: Constraints from H2O diffusion in melt inclusions
The pre-fragmentation velocity of magma ascending during explosive volcanic eruptions remains difficult to quantify. Here we present a new technique for using syn-eruptive volatile diffusion in imperfectly trapped melt inclusions to obtain a direct estimate of such ascent velocities. H 2O diffusion...
