Rapid Magma Ascent Recorded in Volatile Diffusion ProfilesWhat makes some eruptions more explosive than others? This fundamental questions is still largely unanswered, even after a given eruption has occurred. Theories link eruptive vigor to the amount of gas and stiffness of the magma, but magmas that have similar stiffness and gas-forming species can still erupt in a wide range of styles, some highly explosive, some quiescent. This project explores another fundamental parameter ? the rate at which magma rises in the volcanic conduit prior to eruption. The magma ascent rate will affect eruptive volume and vigor and also how bubbles form, grow and coalesce. In general, slow magma rise leads to more efficient bubble separation and less explosive eruption. This project aims to test the control of magma rise speed by extracting timescale information from erupted crystals and glass for several eruptions that span a range of exlosive magnitudes. This project will take advantage of new developments in using the zonation of volatile species in glass and crystals to obtain diffusive timescales that reflect ascent on the order of minutes to days prior to eruption. Four different chronometers will be used: 1) multi-species volatile diffusion through melt embayments, 2) water loss through olivine from melt inclusions of different sizes, 3) water zonation in olivine and clinopyroxene, and 4) zonation inside melt inclusions. Data will be obtained that derive from different microbeam techniques (NanoSIMS, FTIR, electron probe, laser ablation ICPMS) that record chemical zonation at the resolution of 5-25 microns. The proposed targets are a pair of well-documented eruptions from each of three volcanoes: Etna (2001 and 3930BP), Cerro Negro (1992 and 1995) and Paricutin (1943 and 1948), which span the range in mass eruption rates that characterize the transition from strombolian to subplinian styles. The eruptions targeted are specifically designed to test ideas as to the relationship between ascent rate and eruption rate in hydrous mafic magmas, among the most common but least well understood eruptions. This project will support a Ph.D. student and two high school interns from the Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics, a public high school comprised largely of minority students from lower socioeconomic groups.

在挥发性扩散剖面中记录的快速岩浆上升是什么使一些喷发比其他喷发更具爆炸性？这个基本问题在很大程度上仍然没有答案，即使在给定的火山喷发发生之后。理论将喷发的活力与岩浆的气体量和硬度联系起来，但具有相似硬度和形成气体的种类的岩浆仍然可以以各种各样的方式喷发，有些是高度爆炸性的，有些是静止的。这个项目探索了另一个基本参数？火山喷发前岩浆在火山导管中上升的速度。岩浆的上升速度会影响喷发的体积和活力，也会影响气泡的形成、生长和聚集。一般来说，缓慢的岩浆上升会导致更有效的气泡分离和更少的爆炸性喷发。该项目旨在通过从喷发的晶体和玻璃中提取时间尺度信息来测试对岩浆上升速度的控制，这些喷发跨越了一系列的爆炸震级。该项目将利用玻璃和晶体中挥发性物质的分区的新发展，以获得扩散的时间尺度，反映喷发前几分钟到几天的上升。将使用四种不同的计时器：1)熔体中多组分挥发扩散；2)不同尺寸熔体包裹体中橄榄石的水分损失；3)橄榄石和斜辉石中的水分带；4)熔体包裹体内部的水分带。数据将从不同的微束技术（NanoSIMS， FTIR，电子探针，激光烧蚀ICPMS）中获得，这些技术以5-25微米的分辨率记录化学区域化。提议的目标是三个火山中的每一个的两次有充分记录的喷发：埃特纳火山（2001年和3930BP），塞罗内格罗火山（1992年和1995年）和帕里库廷火山（1943年和1948年），它们的大规模喷发速度跨越了从斯特隆波利亚风格到亚普林尼亚风格转变的特征。目标喷发是专门设计来测试关于水合岩浆上升速率和喷发速率之间关系的想法，这是最常见但最不为人所知的喷发之一。该项目将资助曼哈顿科学与数学中心的一名博士生和两名高中实习生。曼哈顿科学与数学中心是一所公立高中，主要由来自社会经济地位较低群体的少数族裔学生组成。
