Abstract Kelut volcano, East Java, is an active volcanic
complex hosting a summit crater lake that has been the
source of some of Indonesia’s most destructive lahars. In
November 2007, an effusive eruption lasting approximately 7 months led to the... Read More about The pre-eruptive magma plumbing system of the 2007–2008 dome-forming eruption of Kelut volcano, East Java, Indonesia.

The interplay between magma ascent, degassing and changing magmatic properties are widely recognized as critical factors controlling the style of silicic volcanic eruptions. Microlite textures in samples from the prolonged dome-forming eruption of Me...

Stratigraphic, structural, volcanological and geochemical data allow a detailed reconstruction of the geological history of the island of Salina (central Aeolian sector). Its subaerial volcanism (c. 244 ka to 15.6 ka) developed through six successive...

Crustal differentiation processes at Krakatau volcano, Indonesia (2013)
Journal Article
Gertisser, R. (2013). Crustal differentiation processes at Krakatau volcano, Indonesia. Journal of Petrology, 149 - 182. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egs066

Anak Krakatau is a basaltic andesite cone that has grown following the famous caldera-forming 1883 eruption of Krakatau. It breached sea level in 1927 and since the 1950s has been growing at an average rate of ~8 cm a week. We present new major and t...

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...
