It is considered one of the most active volcanoes in Colombia, with typically Vulcanian eruptions. The complex has been divided into different stages based on stratigraphic and geochronological differences. The most recent one is called the Galeras stage and is considered to have started ca. 4500 years. This study presents the results of new stratigraphic and geochronological analysis of the deposits that outcrop along the El Barranco river valley, NW of the GVC, which allowed us to identify newer and older deposits within the most recent stage (i.e., the Galeras stage). The deposits were analyzed via distribution, stratigraphy, geochronology, componentry and granulometry, as well as vesicularity and microtexture of the pumice fragments. We identified three previously unreported deposits, which results in a total of eight pyroclastic density current (PDC) deposits in the valley, which discordantly overlie andesitic lava flows of the previous stage (i.e., Genoy stage; 150–40 ka) of the GVC. They were named from Unit U1 to Unit U8, with units U1, U2 and U8 representing events not previously recorded in the eruptive history of Galeras volcano. Units U1 (8303 ± 97 and 8284.5 ± 90.5 cal BP), U2 (7667 ± 78 cal BP), U3 (5082 ± 198, 5096.5 ± 226.5, 5801.5 ± 481.5 and 5966 ± 235 cal BP) and U6 (2215.5 ± 101.5 and 2033 ± 91 cal BP) are interpreted as formed by PDCs generated by pumice-rich flows linked to the collapse of Subplinian eruptive columns, while units U5 (3201.5 ± 129 cal BP), U7 (1066.5 ± 109.5 and 944.5 ± 115.4 cal BP) and U8 (390.5 ± 80.5 cal BP) are interpreted as formed by PDCs generated by block and ash flows linked to the destruction of intracrater domes and the collapse of Vulcanian eruptive columns. U4 (4625 ± 181 cal BP) is associated with a “blast” type event, caused by the overpressure exerted by the gases of a viscous magma. The above mentioned record allows us to propose that the eruptive history of Galeras volcano began at the beginning of the Holocene (∼8300 years BP), and not 4500 BP, as previously established, which has hazard implications. Unit U8 in the town of La Florida as well as the nearby recorded deposits, indicates a probable PDC hazard for this population.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142427019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since 2005, its ground has been rising steadily due to the accumulation of fluids at shallow depths. The inflation of volcanic edifices is a possible precursor of an impending eruption. The uplift is accompanied by increasing seismic activity. This raises concerns about the possibility that the volcano may be on the verge of an eruption. To track the fluid movement, it is possible to monitor subtle changes of velocities of seismic waves by exploring ambient seismic noise. By examining different frequency bands, we can observe velocity changes at different depths. We interpret these changes as a monitoring of depth-dependent deformation in addition to the standard monitoring of surface deformation. We observe a velocity decrease in the long-term trend, presumably due to the extension of the hydrothermal system at shallow depths. To explain the long-term changes, we model a spherical pressure source to simulate volumetric strain changes induced by recent fluid activity. The model explains both, surface and subsurface deformation which leads to the opening of microcracks and pores, resulting in the observed velocity decrease. The short-term velocity changes are mainly driven by temperature or groundwater level changes. Once velocity changes are corrected for seasonal effects, remaining short term velocity changes can be associated with volcanic activity and earthquake swarms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142427020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CDB lava has a historical significance as it provided the slabs used in the paving of the ancient Appian Way, built in the 4^th century BCE. Puzzlingly beyond the seventh milestone, the ancient Appian Way deviates briefly from an otherwise straight SE-NW direction, abandoning the top of the lava flow and resuming its elevation and the SE-NW trend within less than 1 km. This peculiarity raised a question as to whether the deviation could have been the result of a tectonic deformation caused by a (buried) fault. To test this hypothesis, we sampled the CDB lava flow at four locations over a ∼ 10 km transect near the ancient Appian Way around the bend and performed a detailed rock magnetic, paleomagnetic, and petrographic study. Rock magnetic data indicate that pseudo-single-domain magnetite and low-Ti titanomagnetite particles are the main magnetic carriers for three sampling locations, located in freshly cut quarries, which reliably recorded the paleomagnetic field at the time of emplacement. Conversely, the samples collected in the upper part of the lava flow, within the bent segment of the ancient Appian Way, show multi-domain low- and moderate-Ti titanomagnetites as main magnetic carriers which fail to record a paleomagnetic direction. Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility data are consistent with an overall CDB lava flow direction from SE to NW and the paleomagnetic directional data from the three reliable sampling sites are statistically indistinguishable. Hence, data from this study show no evidence of post-emplacement tectonic rotations.

This ridge is composed of a series of Pleistocene and Holocene volcanoes and includes the presently active Ebeko Volcano, which exhibits frequent phreatomagmatic eruptions and ongoing fumarolic activity. Studying the internal structure beneath Northern Paramushir is important to understand the interrelationship of magmatic, hydrothermal, hydrological and geological processes below Ebeko Volcano. We use seismic data of a portable network consisting of 20 broadband stations installed for one year from the summer 2021 to 2022 and one permanent station in the city of Severo-Kurilsk. We performed the local earthquake tomography inversion, which provided the distributions of Vp, Vs, Vp/Vs and local seismicity in an area of northern Paramushir with lateral extent of ∼20 km and depth of a ∼ 15 km. The results of several tests gave the information about the resolution limitations of the computed model, which were taken into account during its interpretation. In the resulting model, the coexistence of low Vp, high Vs, low Vp/Vs and a seismicity cluster down to ∼10 km below Ebeko indicates the presence of a large gas-saturated area that was formed due to the contacts of liquid fluids with hot magmatic intrusions. The western border of this area coincides with the location of Verkhne-Yurievsky hot water sources and possibly highlights the path of fluids traveling around the hot body below Ebeko. Below the upper part of the eastern slope, we observe a shallow anomaly of low Vs and high Vp/Vs indicating the presence of a near-surface aquifer, confirming the previous results of ambient noise tomography. Below the lower part of the eastern slope, a nearly vertical anomaly of low Vs and high Vp/Vs may represent a fault zone, which is also marked on the surface by a series of lineaments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142427024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These viscous lava extrusions range in shape from flat-topped domes with small height-to-width aspect ratios, to spine-like columns exhibiting large height-to-width aspect ratios. A primary control on morphology during early dome growth is thought to be the variation in rheological characteristics of extruded material. In this work, we present new scaled analogue models of lava dome growth that consider extrusion of a frictional plastic upper-conduit plug followed by viscous magma. We simulate the brittle plug using a sand-plaster mixture, the cohesion of which is varied by plaster content. We model the magma using sugar syrup, the viscosity of which is controlled by the weight percent of added crystalline sugar. The models both qualitatively and quantitatively reproduce part of the spectrum of natural dome morphology not previously obtained in most past analogue modelling studies. Model aspect ratios of 0.02 to 0.9 capture approximately 90 % of the reported aspect ratio variation in nature. Increasing plug cohesion results in extrusions with higher aspect ratios and spinier morphologies. Low viscosity fluid typically erupts through the brittle dome, whilst high viscosity fluid tends to promote endogenous growth or emerge as exogenous lobes. Particle Image Velocimetry shows that fracture localisation at the dome surface is cohesion-dependent, and eruption of fluid follows shear fractures within the dome. Where fluid remains contained within the dome, we see lateral spread leading to a wider and flatter dome morphology. Evolution of lava dome morphology, deformation, and associated hazards is guided by the complex rheological properties of the extruded material; we suggest that during episodic dome growth, these properties are largely defined in the conduit prior to their eruption.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142427023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important mechanism of lava transport within lava flow fields is the formation and development of lava tubes. The presence of lava tubes in a flow field can greatly increase their distance of emplacement. Observations of lava tubes at Vesuvius have been documented in historical records and speleological reports but no modern scientific studies are available. This work focuses on lava tubes formed in the compound lava flow field of the long-lived 1858 eruption (from 27 May 1858 to 12 April 1861) that was fed by seven eruptive fissures. The temporal and spatial evolution of the 1858 lava flow field was reconstructed using historical documentation. The exposed lava flow field surface was analysed using a 1-m resolution lidar Digital Surface Model (DSM). Surveys to fully digitize the interior and the overlying surface of the largest lava tube found in the 1858 lava flow field were conducted using a terrestrial laser scanner, optical cameras, and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The accurate 3D model obtained was used to precisely quantify the inner dimensions and to better constrain the morphologies of the lava tube. Observed internal features were described and used to gain information on the formation and activity of the lava tube. Our data allowed us to understand that the described lava tube formed as an inflated lava flow inside which lava flowed through during an extended period ultimately draining out completely at the end of the eruption.

Anthropogenic climate change is now causing ice sheets and valley glaciers to melt around the world and this deglaciation could stimulate volcanic activity and associated hazards in Iceland, Antarctica, Alaska, and Patagonia. However, current model predictions for volcanic activity associated with anthropogenic deglaciation in Iceland are poorly constrained, in part due to uncertainties in past volcanic output over time compared to ice sheet arrangements. Further work specifically characterizing glaciovolcanic and ice-marginal volcanoes in Iceland is needed to reconstruct volcanic output during time periods with changing ice cover. Here, we describe a previously unrecognized ice-marginal volcanic sequence on a broad, gradual hillslope southeast of Langjökull and the Jarlhettur volcanic chain in Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone. Although previously mapped as interglacial lavas, canyons in this area revealed two southwest-dipping sequences of pillow-bearing tuff-breccias between pāhoehoe lava flows above modern lake Sandvatn. These pillow-bearing tuff-breccias and the quenched meter-scale cavities in coherent lava and cube-jointed facies show lavas came into contact with ice and pockets of trapped meltwater. However, clasts within the tuff-breccias include a mixture of pillow lavas and pāhoehoe fragments, requiring that the subaqueous tuff-breccia facies were derived from subaerial flows. In addition, we observed interfingering of subaerial and transitional subaqueous-subaerial pāhoehoe lava flows with the pillow-bearing tuff-breccias. We propose that during a deglaciation, subaerial lavas sourced upslope from near Skálpanes flowed downslope to the south and came into contact with thin ice north of the modern lake Sandvatn. We constrain the local ice at this time to be ∼30–50 m thick.

Second, does surface loading during ice sheet growth, followed by rapid unloading during deglaciation, promote changes in magma storage conditions and compositions within the underlying magma plumbing systems? To provide new perspectives on these questions, we address the mechanics and dynamics of ice sheet-arc magma plumbing system interactions at a regional-to-local scale within the Andean Southern Volcanic Zone.
