In addition to gas sources, hydrothermal gas geochemistry is strongly influenced by secondary processes that occur during/after hydrothermal circulation.

Helium (<sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He = 4.25–7.09 <em>R</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>) in both vents was controlled by mixing between mantle and crustal components, where about 74% of helium was contributed by the mantle. Differences in N<sub>2</sub>/Ar ratios (∼ 300–330) of the two neighboring springs are attributed to subducted materials and seawater mixing (contributing ∼2.5% N<sub>2</sub> and Ar), rather than phase separation in the reaction zone. Specifically, Ar was mainly supplied by atmospheric components that dissolved in the percolated seawater with only 8%–9% contributed by the excess radiogenic <sup>40</sup>Ar. Excess N<sub>2</sub> relative to Ar was mainly supplied by the decomposition of subducted materials (83%–92%) of the South China Sea plate beneath the Philippine Sea Plate. The Lutao gases showed low CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations (0.07–22.2 mmol/mol), despite the high <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He ratios indicating a significant contribution of magmatic components. Magmatic CO<sub>2</sub> may have been largely consumed by the high Ca Lutao vent fluids via carbonate precipitation in the reaction zone. Alternatively, stable carbon isotope compositions (δ<sup>13</sup>C) indicate that Lutao CO<sub>2</sub> may be supplied by microbial oxidation of alkanes (e.g., CH<sub>4</sub> with concentrations of 14.6–173 mmol/mol in the samples), with fractionation factor ΔCO<sub>2</sub>–CH<sub>4</sub> ranging from −15‰ to −25‰ and conversion rates of <10%.

An aeromagnetic survey was carried out in October 2021 over a 60 km<sup>2</sup> area covering Surtsey and its surroundings. It aimed to explore the internal structure and the possible existence of basaltic intrusions associated with the five vents active at different times over the 3.5 years of eruptive activity. The survey line spacing was 200 m and the flying altitude was generally 90 m a.s.l. The strongest anomalies (amplitude ∼700 nT) are caused by the 30–100 m thick subaerially erupted lava field on the southern part of Surtsey, formed in two episodes of effusive activity:1964–1965 and 1966–1967. 2D spectral analysis and Euler deconvolution indicate that the causative bodies of anomalies outside the island of Surtsey are located within the uppermost 300 m of the seafloor and their horizontal dimensions are similar to or smaller than their depth. 3D forward modeling of the island and its surroundings, constrained by observations during the formation of the island and drill cores extracted in 1979 and 2017, is consistent with an absence, at all vents, of pillow lava and therefore effusive activity in their opening phases. However, the data support the existence of a 10–20 m thick pillow lava field on the seafloor, 2.5–3 km<sup>2</sup> in area, extending about ∼1 km to the south of Surtsey. The field is considered to have been fed by magma reaching the seafloor via channelized intrusive flow through the foreset breccia constituting the submarine part of an emerging lava delta during the early stage of effusive eruption in May–July 1964. The general scarcity of significant magnetic bodies within the edifices is consistent with magma fragmentation dominating the submarine eruptions from the onset of activity. A small magnetic anomaly is observed over the submarine edifice of Surtla, built during short-lived activity over ∼10 days in 1963–1964. This anomaly is consistent with observed subaqueous weak or moderate explosive activity that may have allowed a dyke to be preserved within the submarine tephra mound. More violent Surtseyan activity was observed at other vents, however, and may have destroyed any initial dykes that, if preserved, might have been resolved magnetically. Indications of magnetized volcanic rocks of unknown age predating the Surtsey eruption are found beneath the flank of the ephemeral island of Jólnir, the southernmost of the Surtsey vents.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research","volume":"451 ","pages":"Article 108096"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037702732400088X/pdfft?md5=b6331033c0a83f7b997395f5cb204393&pid=1-s2.0-S037702732400088X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141025388","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}

To gain new perspectives on the patterns and behaviours of rhyolitic eruptions, we present a study on the explosive phases of the 1314 ± 12 CE Kaharoa eruption of Tarawera, New Zealand. The eruption occurred from multiple aligned vents within the Okataina Caldera and is the youngest rhyolitic eruption of the frequently active Taupō Volcanic Zone. We systematically quantify the deposit characteristics of the Kaharoa pyroclastic succession to provide new insights into the type of eruption sequence and eruptive style changes. Based on field evidence, stratigraphic correlations, grain size and componentry analyses, we subdivide the Kaharoa deposit into 24 units and identify 7 main deposit types, which are linked to different eruptive and depositional processes. The explosive activity was discontinuous, characterised by repeated discrete episodes of sustained magma discharge separated by short time breaks. The activity consisted mainly of repeated subplinian-type columns that gave way to fallout deposition and emplacement of numerous lapilli beds. This activity transitioned to a pyroclastic density current (PDC) dominated phase in response to lateral vent migration. Ash emission activity occurred within and towards the end of the explosive sequence, indicating declines in the eruptive intensity. Six main intra-eruption phases (A to F) of dominant eruptive styles are established to describe the temporal evolution of the eruption. Phases A, B and D are associated with the repeated subplinian-type activity. Phase C comprises the major PDC activity, while the final two Phases E and F are associated with ash emission during initiation of lava dome extrusion and to the final dome-building sequence.

Conventional wisdom suggests that eruption rates decrease exponentially with time, however, this broad trend may also be subject to short-timescale fluctuations. Flow obstructions, changes in source diameter, channel or pond overflow, and changes within the magma reservoir to name a few factors can increase or decrease local flow rates repeatedly during an active eruption and impact the behavior of the flow. Analog experiments are a useful tool for investigating the role of changing effusion rates on flow propagation because they allow reasonably precise control of conditions and detailed documentation of resulting flows. In this work, we address the effects of decreasing and increasing extrusion rates (Q) on flow propagation and four emplacement modes common to lava flows: <em>resurfacing, marginal breakouts, inflation, and lava tubes</em>. We conducted 30 experiments by injecting dyed PEG wax into a chilled bath (∼ 0 °C) on a flat slope. We divided the experiments into two pulsatory extrusion rate patterns, or conditions: stepwise decrease followed by increase in extrusion rate (lull) and stepwise increase then decrease in extrusion rate (peak). We tested a range of flow conditions spanning from flows for which strong crust was favored (low wax temperature; low extrusion rates) and those for which weak crust was favored (high wax temperature; high extrusion rates). We found that a lull in extrusion rates when a strong crust was present promoted flow expansion and thickening via limited resurfacing, localized marginal breakouts, inflation, possible tube formation, with lower rates of flow expansion after the lull. In contrast, a lull and weak crust promoted flow expansion via widespread marginal breakouts, with flow advance rebounding after the lull, and inhibited flow thickening via inflation. A peak in extrusion rates with a strong crust favored flow expansion via widespread marginal breakouts, with flow-advance deceleration after the peak, and possible thickening via inflation. Conversely, a peak in extrusion rate with weak crust promoted flow expansion via widespread marginal breakouts, with flow-advance deceleration after the peak, and inhibited flow thickening via resurfacing and inflation.

However, quantification of the timescales of volcanic processes at mafic volcanic centres in continental intraplate settings is challenging, despite them being a source of significant hazards for human populations and infrastructure due to their limited predictability in space and time. We conducted a detailed petrological study to investigate the time scales of olivine storage and transfer throughout the eruption sequence of Waitomokia Volcanic Complex, a tuff ring and scoria cone complex in the Auckland Volcanic Field. Olivine crystal textures and compositions were determined from stratigraphically-constrained samples of the volcanic complex, from the initial phreatomagmatic phase to the final magmatic phase. Olivine crystals are typically <300 μm in length and characterised by skeletal morphologies, displaying chemical zoning in forsterite (Fo = 100*Mg/[Mg + Fe]; mol%), CaO, MnO and NiO wt% contents. We classified olivine into three major groups based on their Fo core compositions: (1) normally zoned crystals with high Fo content (Fo > 85), (2) crystals with intermediate Fo contents (84–81), and (3) reversely zoned crystals with lower Fo core content (<80). Olivine chemical zoning (diffusion) profiles were modelled in the context of a specific magmatic environment linked with changes in thermodynamic variables during storage (temperature, pressure, and oxygen fugacity). We propose that the normally zoned olivine crystals grew in one magmatic environment (ME1), which subsequently intruded into a more evolved (lower MgO) environment (ME2), where they interacted and were stored for up to 135 days before their eruption. During magma ascent to the surface, a second magma mixing event occurred between ME2 and magma within a third magmatic environment (ME3), forming reversely-zoned olivine crystals yielding notably shorter ascent times of approximately a few days. The rocks from the opening phreatomagmatic phase of the eruption show a larger range in olivine group types compared to the final magmatic phase, where those from the deeper ME1 are more abundant. The short time scales of magma transport obtained in our study, on the order of days to months, should be informative of the warning times that may be encountered between the onset of volcanic unrest and an eruption in the Auckland Volcanic Field.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research","volume":"451 ","pages":"Article 108094"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0377027324000866/pdfft?md5=3a5095b94a81ab9cc9a12af244064f55&pid=1-s2.0-S0377027324000866-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141033308","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}

This volcanic cluster includes at least 17 middle Pliocene to late Pleistocene lava domes, two small shield volcanoes, and two scoria cones. Between 4 and 3.8 Ma, two effusive eruptions built two small shield volcanoes overlying one another, with a magma volume of 3.93 km<sup>3</sup>. Between 2.9 Ma and 21.4 ka, 17 lava domes and two scoria cones were emplaced on the flanks of these volcanoes. The entire cluster resulted in a total erupted volume of 17 km<sup>3</sup>, covering an area of <!--> <!-->326 km<sup>2</sup> and reaching a thickness of emplaced volcanic material of 1200 m, resulting in a magma eruption rate equivalent to 0.004 km<sup>3</sup>/ka. All the rocks associated with this cluster are within a relatively restricted range in composition, between 53.9 and 64.2 wt% SiO₂, from andesite enriched in silica to basaltic andesite. The presence of intrusive-rock xenoliths and xenocrysts with dissolution textures reveals that assimilation processes modified the magmas. Based on the regional geological record, we suggest that the establishment of the Nieve volcanic cluster has been controlled by tectonic structures and the basement of the region, which has allowed the chemical evolution of these magma batches that probably had sources in at least two deep reservoirs as reflected by the Nb/Th versus Ta/U ratio.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research","volume":"450 ","pages":"Article 108091"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140880175","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}
