Fluid fluxing and accumulation drive decadal and short-lived explosive basaltic andesite eruptions preceded by limited volcanic unrest by Utami, Sri Budhi, Costa, Fidel, Lesage, Ph., Allard, P., Humaida, H.

“…The textures and compositional zoning of orthopyroxene and plagioclase do not support intrusion of more primitive magma as the driver for the eruption, and we instead propose that pre-eruptive fluid accumulation and hightemperature fluid fluxing from depth (likely dominated by CO2) played a major role in priming the eruption to occur. …”
