Unexpected large eruptions from buoyant magma bodies within viscoelastic crust

Unexpected large eruptions from buoyant magma bodies within viscoelastic crust

Large-volume volcanic eruptions can occur despite only limited precursory activity. Here the authors show that modelling the combined effects of buoyant magma, viscoelastic earth behaviour, and sustained magma channels can explain such behaviour of volcanoes and gives an estimate of pressure evoluti...
