computing tool for classifying crystals from BSE images
for CSD purposes (published in 2018 in Microscopy & Microanalysis)
2. Define the origin of microlites and micro-phenocrysts
through high resolution imaging

3. a) Use microlite CSDs to decipher magmatic
processes and magma transfer through the volcanic
conduit at the onset of eruptions
b) Identification of the P-T-X(H2O) conditions during
microlite crystallisation to understand the magmatic
processes at work during magma ascent (under re-review in
Journal of Petrology)

Key contributions:
• Microlite rims are not necessarily in equilibrium with their
surrounding melts and may be entrained and recycled upon ascent
• No correlation between CSD slopes and eruption style
• Style of explosive eruptions fed by water-poor magmas are
controlled by shallow processes e.g. conduit geometry
• Vertically oriented reservoirs may be more common than typically
acknowledged
• A new and fast method to classify crystals from BSE

Editor's Notes

  1. Good morning and thank you all for being here this morning, physically or via Skype. Three and a half years ago I came to New Zealand to pursue my passion for learning and understanding volcanic processes using petrological and geochemical techniques. This PhD focused on tephras from explosive eruptions of the Tongariro Volcanic Centre, located in the Central North Island of New Zealand, and more specifically to understand the shallow magmatic processes and their timescales using microanalytical instruments.
  2. Magma is composed of 3 phases: liquid which is the melt, gas which are the volatiles, dissolved and then exsolved, and solid being the crystal. Phenocrysts are large crystals that form early in the system and which record essential information about the deep processes. Micro-phenocrysts and especially microlites form shallower. This CSD which stands for crystal size distributions, clearly shows the two populations of crystals associated with different nucleation and crystallization kinetics. Microlites, as shown on this sketch are commonly associated with decompression-induced degassing, and sometimes with cooling.

Phenocrysts are large crystals that form early in the system and which record essential information about the deep processes. Micro-phenocrysts and especially microlites form shallower. This CSD which stands for crystal size distributions, clearly shows the two populations of crystals associated with different nucleation and crystallization kinetics. Microlites, as shown on this sketch are commonly associated with decompression-induced degassing, and sometimes with cooling.
  5. At TgVC, several studies have focussed on phenocrysts which provided
  6. Concaved up CSDs due to nanolites and micro-phenocrysts. No correlation between CSD slopes and eruption style.
  7. Concaved up CSDs due to nanolites and micro-phenocrysts. No correlation between CSD slopes and eruption style.
  8. Concaved up CSDs due to nanolites and micro-phenocrysts. No correlation between CSD slopes and eruption style.
  9. Concaved up CSDs due to nanolites and micro-phenocrysts. No correlation between CSD slopes and eruption style.
  10. We now know that: Vertically oriented reservoirs, suggested here by the tectonic setting of the area and the polybaric crystallisation of microlites, may be more common that typically acknowledged
