SE-12. Insights into volcanic processes through petrological studies and
how they can be used to better understand monitoring data
Long-term records of monitoring data including geophysical and geochemical
sets are
crucial for anticipating and forecasting volcanic eruptions. However, in
many unrest episodes the interpretation
of monitoring data in terms of processes is ambiguous, as different
processes can cause the same or similar signals.
Studying the eruptive products with modern petrological and geochemical
tools has the capacity to provide conceptual
models and data that can make a bridge towards process-based
interpretations of unrest monitoring data. In this
session we invite case studies of eruptions that determine the state of
the magma and processes that occurred prior
to eruption (magma mixing, crystallization, overturn, magma fragmentation,
magma storage depth, time scales of the
processes) and try to link the petrological observations with the
monitoring record of the same event.
