🚨🌋 New paper on hydrothermal alteration & permeability at La Soufrière de Guadeloupe! 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.jv... 📊 More altered rocks show higher average permeability 🔬 But microstructures reveal alteration reduces permeability ⚠️ Small datasets can be misleading @rocklabstrasbourg.bsky.social

🌋Phreatic eruptions at Whakaari volcano are influenced by subsurface pressurisation magnitudes and timescales, which in turn are significantly influenced by hydrothermal mineralisation and magmatic gas input rates. 👉Read more here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Phreatic eruptions at Whakaari Volcano driven by hydrothermal mineralisation and magmatic gas input - Communications Earth & Environment
Phreatic eruptions at Whakaari volcano are influenced by subsurface pressurisation magnitudes and timescales, which are significantly influenced by hydrothermal mineralisation and magmatic gas input rates, according to 3-dimensional numerical modelling of volcanic hydrothermal systems.
