Major-element, trace-element, and volatile concentrations in silicate melt inclusions from the tuff of Pine Grove, Wah Wah Mountains, Utah

Spectral investigation of Mercury's pits' surroundings: Constraints on the planet's explosive activity

“…Volatile contents of some arc and back-arc basaltic magmas on Earth, measured in melt inclusions, vary from 0.1 to 8 wt% H 2 O, 0 to 2100 ppm CO 2 and 300-6000 ppm S (Wallace 2005). Melt inclusions from explosive deposits of the Bishop Tuff (Wallace et al, 1999), the Tuff of Pine Grove (Lowenstern et al, 1994), Mount Pinatubo (Wallace and Gerlach 1994) and Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex (Schmitt, 2001) reveal CO 2 contents that range from 10 to 1085 ppm and water contents between 2.8 wt% and 7 wt%. H 2 O contents measured on Earth are comparable (basaltic magma) or higher (rhyolitic magma) than those measured on Mercury.…”

Exsolved volatiles in magma reservoirs

“…Isobars appropriate for rhyolite (Newman and Lowenstern, 2002). Data are shown for Pine Grove (Lowenstern et al, 1994), Soufrière Hills (Edmonds et al, 2014b), Bishop Tuff (Wallace et al, 1999), Oruanui, Taupo (Liu et al, 2006), Rabaul (Roggensack et al, 1996), Popocatepetl (Atlas et al, 2006) and Satsuma-Iwojima (Saito et al, 2001). volatile mixture (with no crystals) in the case that there is 2, 4 and wt% H 2 O in the melt at K. B) The dependence of the compressibility of a melt-crystal-volatile mixture on the crystal content of the melt.…”
