At the base of many flood basalt sequences and along volcanic rifted margins, volcanism can compete with the existing sedimentary environments, resulting in interbedded sequences of volcanic rocks and sediments. Here we report on sediment interlayers...

Proximal lava drainage controls on basaltic fissure eruption dynamics (2017)
Journal Article
Jones, T., Llewellin, E., Houghton, B., Brown, R., & Vye-Brown, C. (2017). Proximal lava drainage controls on basaltic fissure eruption dynamics. Bulletin of Volcanology, 79(11), Article 81. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-017-1164-2

Hawaiian basaltic eruptions commonly initiate as a fissure, producing fountains, spattering, and clastogenic lava flows. Most fissures rapidly localize to form a small number of eruptive vents, the location of which may influence the subsequent distr...

The architecture of submarine monogenetic volcanoes – insights from 3D seismic data (2017)
Journal Article
Reynolds, P., Schofield, N., Brown, R., & Holford, S. (2018). The architecture of submarine monogenetic volcanoes – insights from 3D seismic data. Basin Research, 30(s1), 437-451. https://doi.org/10.1111/bre.12230

Many prospective sedimentary basins contain a variety of extrusive volcanic products that are ultimately sourced from volcanoes. However, seismic reflection-based studies of magmatic rift basins have tended to focus on the underlying magma plumbing s...
