Conference Proceeding
Petrone, C. M., Mollo, S., Gertisser, R., Buret, Y., Scarlato, P., Del Bello, E., …Reagan, M. (2023). Evolution of Stromboli basaltic plumbing system via magma recharges and mush rejuvenation. . https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu23-6218

<jats:p>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Basaltic volcanoes can remain active for tens to thousands of years with the continual presence of magma, requiring storage and transport conditions that can sustain persistently eruptible melt. Magma storage conditions benea... Read More about Evolution of Stromboli basaltic plumbing system via magma recharges and mush rejuvenation..

Magma-Carbonate Interaction at Merapi Volcano, Indonesia (2023)
Book Chapter
