Peralkaline felsic magmatism of the Atlantic islands (2018)
Journal Article
Gertisser. (2018). Peralkaline felsic magmatism of the Atlantic islands. Frontiers in Earth Science, https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2018.00145

The oceanic-island magmatic systems of the Atlantic Ocean exhibit significant diversity in their respective sizes, ages, and the compositional ranges of their eruptive products. Nevertheless, almost all of the Atlantic islands and island groups have... Read More about Peralkaline felsic magmatism of the Atlantic islands.

The cryptotephra record of the Marine Isotope Stage 12 to 10 interval (460–335 ka) at Tenaghi Philippon, Greece: Exploring chronological markers for the Middle Pleistocene of the Mediterranean region (2018)
Journal Article
Gertisser. (2018). The cryptotephra record of the Marine Isotope Stage 12 to 10 interval (460–335 ka) at Tenaghi Philippon, Greece: Exploring chronological markers for the Middle Pleistocene of the Mediterranean region. Quaternary Science Reviews, 313-333. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.09.019

Precise chronologies that allow direct correlation of paleoclimate archives are a prerequisite for deciphering the spatiotemporal characteristics of short-term climate variability. Such chronologies can be established through the analysis of tephra l...

Structural features and stability of Spanish sepiolite as a potential catalyst (2018)
Journal Article
Al-Ani, . A., Gertisser, R., & Zholobenko, V. (2018). Structural features and stability of Spanish sepiolite as a potential catalyst. Applied Clay Science, 297 -304. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clay.2018.06.021

Abstract Sepiolite-based catalysts loaded with potassium hydroxide were prepared via the wet impregnation and ion-exchange methods and evaluated as catalysts in base-assisted reactions, such as transesterification of renewable oils. The structural fe... Read More about Structural features and stability of Spanish sepiolite as a potential catalyst.

Linking in situ crystallisation and magma replenishment via sill intrusion in the Rum Western Layered Intrusion, NW Scotland (2018)
Journal Article
Gertisser, R. (2018). Linking in situ crystallisation and magma replenishment via sill intrusion in the Rum Western Layered Intrusion, NW Scotland. Journal of Petrology, 1605-1642. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egy073

The construction of layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions has traditionally been attributed to gravity driven accumulation, involving the mechanical settling of crystals onto the magma chamber floor, at the interface between the crystal mush at the bas...

Towards reconstruction of the lost Late Bronze Age intra-caldera island of Santorini, Greece (2018)
Journal Article
Gertisser. (2018). Towards reconstruction of the lost Late Bronze Age intra-caldera island of Santorini, Greece. Scientific reports, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-25301-2

During the Late Bronze Age, the island of Santorini had a semi-closed caldera harbour inherited from the 22 ka Cape Riva Plinian eruption, and a central island referred to as ‘Pre-Kameni’ after the present-day Kameni Islands. Here, the size and age o... Read More about Towards reconstruction of the lost Late Bronze Age intra-caldera island of Santorini, Greece.

Emplacement of the Rocche Rosse rhyolite lava flow(Lipari, Aeolian Islands) (2018)
Journal Article
Gertisser. (2018). Emplacement of the Rocche Rosse rhyolite lava flow(Lipari, Aeolian Islands). Bulletin of Volcanology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-018-1222-4

The Rocche Rosse lava flow marks the most recent rhyolitic extrusion on Lipari island (Italy), and preserves evidence for a multi-stage emplacement history. Due to the viscous nature of the advancing lava (108 to 1010 Pa s), indicators of complex emp... Read More about Emplacement of the Rocche Rosse rhyolite lava flow(Lipari, Aeolian Islands).

When the gods are angry: volcanic crisis and eruption at Bali's great volcano (2018)
Journal Article
Gertisser. (2018). When the gods are angry: volcanic crisis and eruption at Bali's great volcano. Geology Today, 62 - 65. https://doi.org/10.1111/gto.12224

In November 2017, Bali's ‘great volcano’, Gunung Agung, erupted for the first time since 1963—leading to the evacuation of nearly 150 000 people from a preliminary danger zone within a radius of 9–12 km from the summit. Since the phreatic onset of th... Read More about When the gods are angry: volcanic crisis and eruption at Bali's great volcano.

Timescales of magma ascent and degassing and the role of crustal assimilation at Merapi volcano (2006-2010), Indonesia: constraints from uranium-series and radiogenic isotopic compositions (2018)
Journal Article
Gertisser. (2018). Timescales of magma ascent and degassing and the role of crustal assimilation at Merapi volcano (2006-2010), Indonesia: constraints from uranium-series and radiogenic isotopic compositions. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 34-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2017.10.015

We present new 238U-230Th-226Ra-210Pb-210Po, 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd isotopic data of whole-rock samples and plagioclase separates from volcanic deposits of the 2006 and 2010 eruptions at Merapi volcano, Java, Indonesia. These data are combined wit...
