Mount Hood's mixing behavior is somewhat different than that of most other Cascade Range volcanoes, the researchers said, including Mount Hood's nearby, more explosive neighbor, Mount St. Helens.

The change is attributed to new magma mixing with 1955-era magma in the ground, creating hotter and more fluid flows ...

Geologists discover that hot and cold magmas mixing beneath Las Cañadas volcano in Tenerife triggers the volcano's massive, caldera-forming eruptions.

“This is definitely, without a doubt, the largest eruption since Mt. Pinatubo in 1991,” said corresponding author Scruggs, who studies magma mixing and eruption triggering mechanisms, and recently ...

Adam Kent: I think that magma mixing (also often called magma recharge) is a very widespread and effective way to trigger eruptions in many volcanic systems.

Even through the cola is there, you still essentially have a glass of water. Same here—small volumes of chemically diverse magma, mixing with a large volume of ascending basalt," Stock said.

In particular I am interested the process of magma mixing. I study the texture and geochemistry of lavas to understand the source of the magma and the magmatic processes invovled in its evolution.

In general, magma's interaction with water comes in two flavors -- phreatic, where the eruption is steam-driven, but no magma is directly involved, just heat, and phreatomagmatic, where magma is ...

The first simulation of the individual crystals in volcanic mush, a mix of liquid magma and solid crystals, shows mixing to help understand the buildup of pressure deep inside a volcano.

The change is attributed to new magma mixing with 1955-era magma in the ground, creating hotter and more fluid flows, scientists said.
