• Confocal Scanning laser microscopic (CSLM) characterization of volcanic rocks 

    Weller, Daniel; Colombier, Mathieu; Cáceres, Francisco; Vasseur, Jérémie; Dingwell, Donald B.; Scheu, Bettina (2024)
    Optical and microscopical analyses of surficial and internal textures are key elements of volcanic rock characterization. Yet conventional methods for textural analyses often pose challenges and difficulties in terms of ...

  • Oxide nanolitisation-induced melt iron extraction causes viscosity jumps and enhanced explosivity in silicic magma 

    Cáceres, Francisco; Hess, Kai-Uwe; Eitel, Michael; Döblinger, Markus; McCartney, Kelly N.; Colombier, Mathieu; Gilder, Stuart A.; Scheu, Bettina; Kaliwoda, Melanie; Dingwell, Donald B. (2024)
    Explosivity in erupting volcanoes is controlled by the degassing dynamics and the viscosity of the ascending magma in the conduit. Magma crystallisation enhances both heterogeneous bubble nucleation and increases in magma ...
