Information - VGP4 Physics and chemistry of volcano degassing
Event Information
Volcanic degassing strongly controls both the style and power of volcanic eruptions. Degassing occurs during magma ascent and depressurization from depth to the surface and has a profound effect on whether the release of magma is explosive or effusive. Even during quiescent periods volcanoes can release large amounts of volatiles. Thus, monitoring of the degassing process constitutes a powerful tool for the surveillance of volcanoes. Voluminous degassing observed during both eruptive and quiescent periods also has a profound effect on the Earth's atmosphere and environment on all time scales. From being the source of most gases in the atmosphere over geologic time scales, to producing climate change, to threatening aviation, magmatic gas sources provide a strong link between the lithosphere and society. We invite contributions which highlight progress and innovation in the study of magmatic gas release.
