"Understanding the combination of magma dynamics and timescales in volcanic systems has a fundamental implication in determining the eruptive behavior of volcanoes undergoing unrest and, more in general, in quantifying the mass fluxes that regulate the evolution of the Earth's m…
"The composition of igneous rocks – their minerals, melts, and fluids – reveals the physical and chemical conditions under which magmas form, evolve, interact, and move from the Earth’s mantle through the crust. These magma dynamics affect processes on the surface including crus…
