Iron oxidation state in magmas is an important variable that allows volcanologist to better know the state of the magmatic system at...

We saw in previous posts that magmas are constituted of a silicate melt, crystals and gas bubbles. At the molecular scale, silicate melts...

Isotopes are elements that contain the same number of protons Z but different numbers of neutrons N. Because of the slight difference in...

In addition to the work publish in American Mineralogist (see blog post from February 2015), we recently reported on the specific bonding...

The dynamic (e.g., effusif vs explosive) of volcanic eruption is strongly influenced by how magmas release the dissolved fluids they...

The viscosity of a magma is an important parameter that influence how it erupts at the Earth surface. For instance, basaltic melts, poor...
