Journal Article
Moseley, D., Pringle, J., Haslam, R., Egan, S., Rogers, S., Gertisser, R., …Stimpson, I. (2015). Geophysical surveys to help map buried igneous intrusions, Snowdonia, North Wales, UK. Geology Today, 109 -115 (6). https://doi.org/10.1111/gto.12096

The geology of the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales comprises a mixture of Lower Palaeozoic shallow marine sediments, acidic igneous rocks and basic intrusions of the Welsh Basin that were subsequently deformed during the Caledonian Orogeny. Th... Read More about Geophysical surveys to help map buried igneous intrusions, Snowdonia, North Wales, UK.

Pre- and syn-eruptive degassing and crystallisation processes of the 2010 and 2006 eruptions of Merapi volcano, Indonesia (2014)
Journal Article
Gertisser. (2014). Pre- and syn-eruptive degassing and crystallisation processes of the 2010 and 2006 eruptions of Merapi volcano, Indonesia. Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00410-014-1061-z

The 2010 eruption of Merapi (VEI 4) was the volcano’s largest since 1872. In contrast to the prolonged and effusive dome-forming eruptions typical of Merapi’s recent activity, the 2010 eruption began explosively, before a new dome was rapidly emplace...

Magma rheology variations in sheet intrusions of the Ardnamurchan Central Complex (Scotland) inferred from gabbro inclusion characteristics (2013)
Journal Article
Gertisser, R. (2013). Magma rheology variations in sheet intrusions of the Ardnamurchan Central Complex (Scotland) inferred from gabbro inclusion characteristics. Journal of Petrology, 75 - 102. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egs064

Entrainment of xenoliths and their consequent assimilation are key processes in modifying the crystallization kinetics and magma dynamics of conduit systems. Here, an integrated textural and mineral chemical study of the evolution of a suite of gabbr...
