Volcanic rocks along the Panama Canal present a world-class opportunity to examine the relationship between arc magmatism, tectonic forcing, wet and dry magmas, and volcanic structures. Major and trace element geochemistry of Canal volcanic rocks indicate a significant petrologic transition at 21-25 Ma. Oligocene Bas Obispo Fm. rocks have large negative Nb-Ta anomalies, low HREE, fluid mobile e...

Field monitoring and laboratory results are presented for an unsaturated volcanic pyroclastic. The pyroclastic belongs to the latest plinian eruption of the Ilopango Caldera in the Metropolitan Area of San Salvador, and is constantly affected by intense erosion, collapse, slab failure, sand/silt/debris flowslide and debris avalanche during the rainy season or earthquakes. Being the flowslides m...

Introduction: Water (OH and/or H2O) on the lunar surface and preserved in lunar materials can record information about solar wind, cosmic ray, impact, and lunar interior processes. In particular, understanding if any lunar surface hydration signatures can be linked to endogenous (e.g., magmatic) sources has the potential to inform us of the nature and distribution of volatiles in the lunar inte...

This work presents the volcanic geology of easternmost sector Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, including Serdán-Oriental basin and Cofre de Perote-Citlaltépetl range, two contrasting Quaternary fields. The first comprises dominant monogenetic volcanism bimodal composition isolated rhyolitic domes tuff rings, basaltic andesite maar volcanoes, cinder lava cones, an active caldera complex (Los Humeros...
