Vesiculation rates of obsidian domes inferred from H2O concentration profiles
[1] Explosivity of rhyolite domes depends on bubble nucleation and growth. To understand these processes, we measure millimeter-scale variations in H2O by synchrotron Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectromicroscopy on interlayered obsidian-pumice samples. The H2O contents of all samples are above the 1-atm solubility value ( 0.10wt.%) and decrease systematically towards vesicular zones, ind...
متن کاملERRATUM Diffusion-controlled spherulite growth in obsidian inferred from H2O concentration profiles
Spherulites are spherical clusters of radiating crystals that occur naturally in rhyolitic obsidian. The growth of spherulites requires diffusion and uptake of crystal forming components from the host rhyolite melt or glass, and rejection of non-crystal forming components from the crystallizing region. Water concentration profiles measured by synchrotron-source Fourier transform spectroscopy re...

متن کاملDynamics of obsidian £ows inferred from microstructures: insights from microlite preferred orientations
The flow of obsidian lava leads to crystal alignments that reflect both the accumulated strain and the type of flow across the surface. Microlite preferred orientations are used to investigate the emplacement dynamics, strain history, and structural evolution of Obsidian Dome, eastern California. Measurements of three-dimensional microlite trend and plunge in samples from the near-vent region, ...
متن کاملLoading rates in California inferred from aftershocks
We estimate the loading rate in southern California and the change in stress induced by a transient slip event across the San Andreas fault (SAF) system in central California, using a model of static fatigue. We analyze temporal properties of aftershocks in order to determine the time delay before the onset of the power law aftershock decay rate. In creep-slip and stick-slip zones, we show that...
