An empirical relation between velocity, mass discharge rate and vent area for normal through paroxysmal eruptions at Stromboli
Based on published and new data for explosive events at Stromboli (Italy), we propose an empirical relation that links mass discharge rate (MDR) and at-vent gas jet velocity (Gv). We use 65 simultaneous measureme...

How to turn off a lava lake? A petrological investigation of the 2018 intra-caldera and submarine eruptions of Ambrym volcano
In December 2018, an unusually large intra- and extra-caldera eruption took place at Ambrym volcano (Vanuatu). The eruption drained the volcano’s five active lava lakes and terminated, at least momentarily, th...

Simulating bubble number density of rhyolitic pumices from Plinian eruptions: constraints from fast decompression experiments
Decompression experiments of a crystal-free rhyolitic liquid with ≈ 6.6 wt. % H2O were carried out at a pressure range from 250 MPa to 30–75 MPa in order to characterize effects of magma ascent rate and temperatu...
