Abstract
Phreatomagmatic eruptions in basaltic monogenetic volcanic fields are strongly influenced by their geological and environmental settings. Barriball Road volcano exemplifies the eruption processes associated with South Auckland Volcanic Field (SAVF), New Zealand. Stratigraphy and petrography reveal the complex eruptive history of this small-volume phreatomagmatic volcano. An initial phreatomagmatic phase formed two overlapping tuff rings from successive vents, and excavated lithics from a shell-rich Pliocene age aquifer (∼170 m depth). The first tuff ring was constructed mainly through pyroclastic fall and the second is dominated by pyroclastic surge (dilute pyroclastic density current) deposits. Transition to a terminal magmatic phase produced a nested scoria cone. Vent migration between the eruption of the tuff rings may have been induced by collapse of the soft substrate, restricting water and magma supply to the first vent. Regional block faulting is inferred to have strongly influenced magma ascent and vent alignment, as seen at many SAVF and other monogenetic field volcanoes.
期刊介绍:
An international research journal with focus on volcanic and geothermal processes and their impact on the environment and society.
Submission of papers covering the following aspects of volcanology and geothermal research are encouraged:
(1) Geological aspects of volcanic systems: volcano stratigraphy, structure and tectonic influence; eruptive history; evolution of volcanic landforms; eruption style and progress; dispersal patterns of lava and ash; analysis of real-time eruption observations.
(2) Geochemical and petrological aspects of volcanic rocks: magma genesis and evolution; crystallization; volatile compositions, solubility, and degassing; volcanic petrography and textural analysis.
(3) Hydrology, geochemistry and measurement of volcanic and hydrothermal fluids: volcanic gas emissions; fumaroles and springs; crater lakes; hydrothermal mineralization.
(4) Geophysical aspects of volcanic systems: physical properties of volcanic rocks and magmas; heat flow studies; volcano seismology, geodesy and remote sensing.
(5) Computational modeling and experimental simulation of magmatic and hydrothermal processes: eruption dynamics; magma transport and storage; plume dynamics and ash dispersal; lava flow dynamics; hydrothermal fluid flow; thermodynamics of aqueous fluids and melts.
(6) Volcano hazard and risk research: hazard zonation methodology, development of forecasting tools; assessment techniques for vulnerability and impact.
