Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8893: Scaling of Gas–Melt Decoupling in Silicic Eruptions: Magma Ascent, Connected Permeability, and Atmospheric Confinement
5+ day, 14+ hour ago (461+ words) Gas escape relative to magma ascent is a primary control on degassing, yet its governing parameters are difficult to compare across eruptions and planetary environments. This study develops a reduced-order dimensionless framework for diagnosing local gas–melt separation in connected,…...
