Rapid open system assembly of a large silicic magma body: time-resolved evidence from cored plagioclase crystals in the Oruanui eruption deposits, New Zealand (2008)
Journal Article
Charlier, B., Wilson, C., & Davidson, J. (2008). Rapid open system assembly of a large silicic magma body: time-resolved evidence from cored plagioclase crystals in the Oruanui eruption deposits, New Zealand. Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 156(6), 799-813. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00410-008-0316-y

Rhyolitic pumices in the 26.5 ka Oruanui eruption (Taupo volcano, New Zealand) contain an average of 10 wt% crystals. About 2 wt% of the crystal population is feldspar crystals that display bluish–grey cloudy cores, the colour being imparted by exsol...

Untangling differentiation in arc lavas: constraints from unusual minor and trace element variations at Salak Volcano, Indonesia (2008)
Journal Article
Handley, H., Davidson, J., Macpherson, C., & Stimac, J. (2008). Untangling differentiation in arc lavas: constraints from unusual minor and trace element variations at Salak Volcano, Indonesia. Chemical Geology, 255(3-4), 360-376. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2008.07.007

Volcanic rocks from Salak Volcano in West Java display intriguing minor and trace element geochemical variations with silica. TiO2 and P2O5 contents, Y, HFSE and REE concentrations are abnormally rich in the Central Vent Group (CVG) lavas (e.g. Y = 3...

Bang! Month-scale eruption triggering at Santorini Volcano (2008)
Journal Article
Martin, V., Morgan, D., Jerram, D., Caddick, M., Prior, D., & Davidson, J. (2008). Bang! Month-scale eruption triggering at Santorini Volcano. Science, 321(5893), https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1159584

The time lag between intrusion of fresh, hot magma and an ensuing eruption is of critical importance in both understanding the triggering and mitigating the consequences of volcanic eruptions. This work looks at material erupted during 1925-28 at the... Read More about Bang! Month-scale eruption triggering at Santorini Volcano.

Sr and Pb isotope micro-analysis in plagioclase crystals from Skye lavas: An insight into open-system processes in a flood basalt province (2008)
Journal Article
Font, L., Davidson, J., Pearson, D., Nowell, G., Jerram, D., & Ottley, C. (2008). Sr and Pb isotope micro-analysis in plagioclase crystals from Skye lavas: An insight into open-system processes in a flood basalt province. Journal of Petrology, 49(8), 1449-1471. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egn032

Crystals in many magmatic rocks are heterogeneous in terms of their isotope composition. Detailed crystal-isotope stratigraphy (CIS) studies have shown that crystals act as reliable recorders of their magma source composition and of the pathways of m...
