“…Crystal nucleation and growth are first-order processes in the evolution of silicate melts during cooling or degassing (e.g., Cashman and Marsh, 1988;Marsh, 1988;Fokin et al, 2006;Toramaru et al, 2008;Hammer, 2009;Hammer et al, 2010;Melnik et al, 2011) and determine mineral and melt chemistry and their evolution, which form the foundation of thermobarometric and hygrometric constraints (e.g., Putirka, 2008;Lange et al, 2009;Waters and Lange, 2015). Minerals may also provide critical insights into the rates of magmatic processes occurring during magma evolution and ascent at the onset of volcanic eruptions, with analytical methods ranging from crystal size distribution studies (e.g., Cashman and Marsh, 1988;Marsh, 1988Marsh, , 1998Hammer et al, 1999;Piochi et al, 2005;Noguchi et al, 2006Noguchi et al, , 2008Clarke et al, 2007;Toramaru et al, 2008;Melnik et al, 2011) to diffusion geospeedometry (e.g., Zellmer et al, 1999Zellmer et al, , 2003Zellmer et al, , 2011Zellmer et al, , 2016Morgan et al, 2004;Costa and Dungan, 2005;Martin et al, 2008;Druitt et al, 2012;Ruprecht and Plank, 2013).…”
