Highly explosive basaltic eruptions driven by CO2 exsolution

Highly explosive basaltic eruptions driven by CO2 exsolution

Mechanisms that drive highly explosive eruptions of low-viscosity magmas, such as at Sunset Crater volcano, remain uncertain. Here, the authors present evidence for an exsolved CO2 phase ~15 km beneath Sunset Crater that was the critical driver of rapid magma ascent leading to the explosive eruption...
