Corrigendum: Crustal movements due to Iceland’s shrinking ice caps mimic magma inflow signal at Katla volcano
Many volcanic systems around the world are located beneath, or in close proximity to, ice caps. Mass change of these ice caps causes surface movements, which are typically neglected when interpreting surface deformation measurements around these volcanoes. These movements can however be significant, and may closely resemble movements due to magma accumulation. Here we show such an example, from...
متن کاملDeformation Due to Magma Movement and Ice Unloading at Katla Volcano, Iceland, Detected by Persistent Scatterer Insar
Katla volcano is situated in the south of Iceland, and is largely covered by the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. Historically, Katla is one of the most active of Iceland’s volcanoes, with 20 eruptions in the last 1100 years, the last one being in 1918. The proximity of populated areas and international flight paths makes prediction of the timing and character of any future eruption particularly importan...
متن کاملWill Present Day Glacier Retreat Increase Volcanic Activity? Stress induced by Recent Glacier Retreat and its Effect on Magmatism at the Vatnajökull ice cap, Iceland
Global warming causes retreat of ice caps and ice sheets. Can melting glaciers trigger increased volcanic activity? Since 1890 the largest ice cap of Iceland, Vatnajökull, with an area of ~8000 km, has been continuously retreating losing about 10% of its mass during last century. Present-day uplift around the ice cap is as high as 25 mm/yr. We evaluate interactions between ongoing glacio-isosta...
متن کاملPETROLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL STUDY OF CRUSTAL XENOLITHS FROM 1961 ERUPTION OF CALBUCO VOLCANO, CHILE (LATITUDE 41 20 S )
Twenty four samples of xenoliths and country rocks from the 1961 lava flow of Calbuco volcano have been studied. Fourteen samples have been analyzed for major elements and P, Ni, Ba, Cr, V, Zr, Sc, Y, and Sr. Five of these samples were further analyzed for Sm, Nd, Sr, and Pb isotope ratios. Seventeen samples were analyzed under the microscope and three samples were analyzed by microprobe fo...
متن کاملInvestigation of the role of fractional crystallization, crustal assimilation and magma mixing in turquoise hosted sub-volcanic intrusion rocks in south of Damghan mine, Iran.
Granodiorite and dioritic intrusive rocks (Middle Eocene age) intruded the Lower-Middle Eocene volcanic rocks at the northern parts of the Torud-Chah Shirin volcano-plutonic belt in north east of Iran. This granodiorite is intruded by small rhyolitic dome in the Damghan turquoise-gold mine. According to all data, these intrusive rocks are related to a common source. The primary magma evolved by...
