Developments in the study of volcanic and igneous plumbing systems: outstanding problems and new opportunities

Abstract Prior to and during eruptions, magma is stored transported within volcanic igneous plumbing systems (VIPS) that comprise a network of reservoirs sheet intrusions. The study these VIPS requires the combination knowledge from fields petrology, geochemistry, thermodynamic modelling, structural geology, volcano geodesy, geophysics, which express physical, chemical, thermal complexity processes involved, how change spatially temporally. In this contribution, we review development discipline system studies in past two decades considering three angles: (1) conceptual models paradigm changes, (2) methodological advances, (3) diversity scientific community involved research. We also discuss future opportunities challenges related topics.
