MAGNETIC DATING OF VESUVIAN LAVAS
… using magnetic information recorded by Vesuvian lavas to define the geomagnetic field direction and intensity at the time of their eruption. It is shown that numerous lava flows, outcropping on the W to S slopes of the volcano, must be associated to a large eruption in AD 1631, confirming some …

The geochemistry and petrogenesis of lavas from the Comores Archipelago, Western Indian Ocean (Volume 2)
… 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd compositions for lavas from three of the four main islands of the archipelago are presented. The alkaline lavas of the Comores range in texture from sparsely to strongly porphyritic, containing phenocrysts of olivine, clinopyroxene, amphibole, feldspar, Fe-Ti oxide …

Dismantling the deep earth : geochemical constraints from hotspot lavas for the origin and lengthscales of mantle heterogeneity
… total Sr-isotope variability observed in Samoan lavas. Chapter 3 deals with the largest possible scales of mantle heterogeneity, and presents the highest magmatic 3He/4He (33.8 times atmospheric) discovered in Samoa and the southern hemisphere. Along with Samoa, the highest 3He/4He sample from …

Commonalities in the emplacement of cooling-limited lavas : insights from the 2011-2012 Cordón Caulle rhyolitic eruption
… of the emplacement of high-viscosity rhyolitic lavas. The 2011-2012 eruption of Puyehue-Cordón Caulle in southern Chile provided a unique opportunity to make scientific observations of an active rhyolitic lava flow. The thesis utilises a multiscale approach to draw comparisons between the …

TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL VARIATIONS IN THE GEOCHEMISTRY AND MINERAOLOGY OF THE YOUNGER HISTORIC LAVAS OF MOUNT ETNA, SICILY
… uniform temporal variation in the succession of lavas. Spatial variations in lava composition within individual flow fields are related to high-level magma mixing and crystal fractionation processes. The effects of mixing are demonstrated by incompatible trace element chemistry, phenocryst …

Quantifying Crustal Assimilation in Historical to Recent (1329-2005) Lavas at Mt. Etna, Italy: Insights from Thermodynamic Modeling
… trends and mineral compositions for pre-1971 lavas are satisfactorily reproduced by fractional crystallization of a parental magma that is a high-Mg (~17 wt.% MgO) basalt to picrite composition. Such a magma is documented in Etna’s ~4 ka pyroclastic fallout deposit. The observed post-1971 …
