... often regarded as acting independently throughout an eruptive event. In this study, we documented evidence of a continuum of brittle and brittle-ductile deformation and fracture-induced outgassing during the emplacement of the ~600-yr-old silicic lava from Obsidian Dome, California, USA. This study...

... fragments. We show that individual obsidian pyroclasts from Mono Craters, California (USA), are heterogeneous in dissolved H 2 O and CO 2 , suggesting that clasts are assembled from juvenile melt and rewelded ash during magma ascent. This is in contrast to the conventional view that clasts are chemically...

..., minor and trace elements. Two main groups of natron-based silica–lime glass were identified, as well as one sample of obsidian (from Lipari Island). The majority of the samples (20) are High Iron, Manganese and Titanium (HIMT) glass. Specifically, most of them (18) can be classified as HIMT1, with only...

.... Powders from two natural obsidian samples were also studied and yielded results broadly similar to the synthetic model systems. SO 2 adsorption on ash is partially irreversible; it appears that the first layer of SO 2 molecules absorbed on the surface cannot be removed. The pressure and temperature...

Comparisons of low-temperature hydration results among SiO 2 , obsidian, and albite compositions show distinct differences, and features are present in the spectra that do not occur at high temperature. Analysis of H 2 O and D 2 O diffusion also suggest that mechanistic differences occur between...
