Continuous Gradations among Primary Carbonatitic, Kimberlitic, Melilititic, Basaltic, Picritic, and Komatiitic Melts in Equilibrium with Garnet Lherzolite at 3–8 GPa Abstract. Multianvil melting experiments in the system CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–CO2 (CMAS–CO2) at 3–8 GPa, 1340–1800°C, involving the garnet lherzolite phase ass

Mush Disaggregation and Dike Propagation Timescales at Active Volcanoes: Evidence from the 2022–2023 Fagradalsfjall Eruptions Abstract. The architectures of magma plumbing systems and timescales of magmatic processes are fundamental to understanding volcanic eruption dynamics. Thi

The typeset version of the 2022-2023 Fagradalsfjall paper is out, so let’s go over the main points of the paper 🌋

Do you do any interesting geochemical modeling related to igneous, magmatic, and volcanic systems? Consider submitting an abstract to our Goldschmidt 2024 session!! ⚒️

Time to start thinking about Goldschmidt in Chicago in August!! We have a session all about modeling of everything igneous, magmatic, and volcanic: conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/...

This is a great summary of the developments so far, and what we might expect an eruption to look like.

Latest updates from IMO... Magma continues to flow into the dyke. SO2 gas has been detected in Grindavík, suggesting magmatic degassing somewhat close to the surface. Still impossible to say when (or if) an eruption will happen, but the likelihood remains high. www.vedur.is/um-vi/fretti...

The best source for updates about the potential volcanic activity is the Icelandic Met Office (vedur.is ). If there’s any new data, or other updates, information will be posted there.
