Magma Outgassing During Eruptions and Geothermal Exploration
Magmatism is central to planetary evolution, controlling differentiation, volcanic eruptions and most geothermal systems. The presence of volatiles regulates magma buoyancy, storage and transport. As temperature, pressure and stress evolve – during transport, crystallisation, earthquakes or geothermal exploration – volatiles exsolve and either accumulate or escape magma, influencing the probability and style of an eruption. Understanding the controls on magma-gas coupling is thus fundamental to resolve volcanic activity as well as manipulate its response to drilling operations when harnessing magma energy. This project aims to constrain Magma outgassing during eruptions and geothermal…
