The influence of great earthquakes on volcanic eruption rate along the Chilean subduction zone by Watt, S, Pyle, D, Mather, T

Subjects: “…Earthquakes and tectonics…”

The distribution of volcanism in the Beta-Atla-Themis region of Venus: its relationship to rifting and implications for global tectonic regimes by Airey, M, Mather, T, Pyle, D, Ghail, R

“…Our new evidence supports classifications of rifts on Venus into different types, possibly by age, with a shift from globally dispersed (more uniform) volcanism towards the more rift-focused distribution, which suggests a shift in tectonic regime. Our observations are consistent with recent models proposing the evolution of Venus from a stagnant lid regime to a subcrustal spreading regime. …”

Arc magma compositions controlled by linked thermal and chemical gradients above the subducting slab by Watt, S, Pyle, D, Mather, T, Naranjo, J

Morphological comparison of distributed volcanic fields in the main Ethiopian rift using high-resolution digital elevation models by Hunt, J, Mather, T, Pyle, D

“…Distributed volcanic fields of scoria cones, maars, tuff cones and lava flows represent a crucial expression of the interplay between magmatism, tectonics and surface processes in continental rifts. …”

Deoxygenation and organic carbon sequestration in the Tethyan realm associated with the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum by Cramwinckel, MJ, van der Ploeg, R, van Helmond, NAGM, Frieling, J, Mather, T, Sluijs, A

“…This apparent regional decoupling between ocean warming and deoxygenation hints at a role for regional tectonics in causing basin restriction and anoxia. …”

Volcanism as an active planetary process on Venus by Airey, M

“…Finally, mapping and spatial analysis of volcanic features and rifts was performed to evaluate the nature of the interaction of volcanism within the global tectonic environment. Spatial relationships are consistent with aspects of the directional model of Venus' evolution, favouring a shift from globally dispersed, relatively small-scale, volcanism spread randomly across the planetary surface towards a gradually more rift-focused distribution indicative of a corresponding shift in global tectonic regime. …”

EnVision: Taking the pulse of our twin planet by Ghail, R, Wilson, C, Galand, M, Hall, D, Cochrane, C, Mason, P, Helbert, J, MontMessin, F, Limaye, S, Patel, M, Bowles, N, Stam, D, Wahlund, J, Rocca, F, Waltham, D, Mather, T, Biggs, J, Genge, M, Paillou, P, Mitchell, K, Wilson, L, Singh, U

“…This suite will determine topographic changes caused by volcanic, tectonic and atmospheric processes at rates as low as 1 mm a -1. …”

Quiescent-explosive transitions during dome-forming volcanic eruptions: Using seismicity to probe the volcanic processes leading to the 29 July 2008 Vulcanian Explosion of Soufrièr... by Rodgers, M, Smith, P, Mather, T, Pyle, D

“…We observe an initial Volcano-Tectonic (VT) swarm, followed by a large LowFrequency (LF) swarm. …”

The magmatic and eruptive response of arc volcanoes todeglaciation: Insights from southern Chile by Rawson, H, Pyle, D, Mather, T, Fontijn, K, Smith, V, Lachowycz, S, Naranjo, J

“…In tectonic settings where decompression melting drives magmatism there is compelling evidence that changes in ice- or water-loading across glacial/interglacial cycles modulate activity. …”

Spatially variable CO2 degassing in the Main Ethiopian Rift: Implications for magma storage, volatile transport and rift-related emissions by Hunt, J, Zafu, A, Mather, T, Pyle, D, Barry, P

“…Deep carbon emissions from historically inactive volcanoes, hydrothermal and tectonic structures are among the greatest unknowns in the long-term (∼Myr) carbon cycle. …”

Satellite observations of fumarole activity at Aluto volcano, Ethiopia: implications for geothermal monitoring and volcanic hazard by Braddock, M, Biggs, J, Watson, I, Hutchison, W, Pyle, D, Mather, T

“…Fumaroles are the surface manifestation of hydrothermal circulation and can be influenced by magmatic, hydrothermal, hydrological and tectonic processes. This study investigates the temporal changes in fumarole temperatures and spatial extent on Aluto, a restless volcano in the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER), in order to better understand the controls on fluid circulation and the interaction between the magmatic and hydrothermal systems. …”

Landslide and tsunami hazard at Yate volcano, Chile as an example of edifice destruction on strike-slip fault zones by Watt, S, Pyle, D, Naranjo, J, Mather, T

“…With a warming climate, increased glacial meltwater due to snowline retreat and increasing rain, at the expense of snow, may accelerate rates of edifice collapse, with implications for landslide hazard and risk at glaciated volcanoes, in particular those in strike-slip tectonic settings where orientated structural instabilities may exist.…”
