The 1963 eruption of Gunung Agung produced 0.95 km3 dense rock equivalent (DRE) of olivine±hornblende-bearing, weakly phyric, basaltic andesite tephra and lava. Evidence for
magma mixing in the eruptive products includes whole-rock compatible and incompatible trace element trends, reverse and complex
compositional zoning of mineral phases, disequilibrium mineral assemblages, sieve-textured plagioclase phenocrysts, and augite
rims on reversely zoned orthopyroxene. Basalt magma mixed with pre-existing andesite magma shortly before eruption to yield
basaltic andesite with a temperature of 1040–1100 °C at an assumed pressure of 2 kb, f O2>NNO, and an average melt volatile content (H2O±CO2) of 4.3 wt.%. Magma-mixing end members may have provided some of the S and Cl emitted in the eruption. Glass inclusions in
phenocrysts contain an average of 650 ppm S and 3130 ppm Cl as compared with 70 ppm and 2220 ppm, respectively, in the matrix
glass. Maximum S and Cl contents of glass inclusions approach 1800 and 5000 ppm, respectively. Application of the petrologic
method to products of the 1963 eruption for estimating volatile release yields of 2.5×1012 g (Mt) of SO2 and 3.4 Mt of Cl released from the 0.65 km3 of juvenile tephra which contributed to stratospheric injection of H2SO4 aerosols on 17 March and 16 May, when eruption column heights exceeded 20 km above sea level. An independent estimate of
SO2 release from atmospheric aerosol loading (11–12 Mt) suggests that approximately 7 Mt of SO2 was injected into the stratosphere. The difference between the two estimates can be most readily accounted for by the partitioning
of S, as well as some Cl, from the magma into a water-rich vapor phase which was released upon eruption. For other recent
high-S-release eruptions of more evolved and oxidized magmas (El Chichón, Pinatubo), the petrologic method gives values two
orders of magnitude less than independent estimates of SO2 emissions. Results from this study of the Agung 1963 magma and its volatile emissions, and from related studies on eruptions
of more mafic magmas, suggest that SO2 emissions from eruptions of higher-S-solubility magma may be more reliably estimated by the petrologic method than may those
from more-evolved magma eruptions.

The ratio of the volume of vesicles (gas) to that of glass (liquid) in pumice clasts (VG/VL) reflects the degassing and dynamic history experienced by a magma during an explosive eruption. VG/VL in pumices from a large number of Plinian eruption deposits is shown here to vary by two orders of magnitude, even between
pumices at a given level in a deposit. These variations in VG/VL do not correlate with crystallinity or initial water content of the magmas or their eruptive intensities, despite large ranges
in these variables. Gas volume ratios of pumices do, however, vary systematically with magma viscosity estimated at the point
of fragmentation, and we infer that pumices do not quench at the level of fragmentation but undergo some post-fragmentary
evolution. On the timescale of Plinian eruptions, pumices with viscosities <109 Pa s can expand after fragmentation, as long as their bubbles retain gas, at a rate inversely proportional to their viscosity.
Once the bubbles connect to form a permeable network and lose their gas, expansion halts and pumices with viscosities <105 Pa s can collapse under the action of surface tension. Textural evidence from bubble sizes and shapes in pumices indicates
that both expansion and collapse have taken place. The magnitudes of expansion and collapse, therefore, depend critically
on the timing of bubble connectivity relative to the final moment of quenching. We propose that bubbles in different pumices
become connected at different times throughout the time span between fragmentation and quenching. After accounting for these
effects, we derive new information on the fragmentation process from two characteristics of pumices. The most important is
a relatively constant minimum value of VG/VL of ∼1.78 (64 vol.% vesicularity) in all samples with viscosities >105 Pa s. This value is independent of magma composition and thus reflects a property of the eruptive mechanism. The other characteristic
is that highly expanded pumices (>85 vol.% vesicularities) are common, which argues against overpressure in bubbles as a mechanism
for fragmenting magma. We suggest that magma fragments when it reaches a vesicularity of ∼64 vol.%, but only if sheared sufficiently
strongly. The intensity of shear varies as a function of velocity in the conduit, which is related to overpressure in the
chamber, so that changes in overpressure with time are important in controlling the common progression from explosive to effusive
activity at volcanoes.

Experiments on degassing of water-saturated granite melts with a pressure drop from 100 and 450 MPa to 40 and 120 MPa, respectively,
at temperatures close to feldspar liquidus (750–700 °C), were carried out to determine the modality of water exsolution and
vesicle formation at the liquidus temperature. Pressure-drop rates as small as approximately 100 bar/day were used. Uniform
space distributions of bubbles of exsolved water were obtained with starting glass containing a small fraction (≈0.5 vol.%)
of trapped air bubbles. Volume crystallization of feldspar was observed in degassed melts supplied with seeds. Bubble size
distributions (BSD) measured in granite glasses after degassing are presented. Data on vesicle characteristics (number, radius,
area, elongation) were acquired on images digitized with standard software, while the reconstruction of size distributions
was performed with the Schwartz-Saltikov "unfolding" procedure. Bubble size distributions of size classes in the range 5–1000 μm
were acquired with proper magnification and satisfactory statistical reliability of determined number densities. The BSDs
of the experimental samples are compared with the results of measurements of rapidly degassed products of Mt. Etna and Vulcano
Island. Many particular features of the bubble nucleation and growth can be distinguished in an individual BSD. However, the
general BSD of the whole data set, including natural ones, can be relatively well described with linear regression in bilogarithmic
coordinates. The slope of this regression is approximately 2.8±0.1. This dependence is in striking contrast with distributions
theoretically predicted with classical nucleation models based on homogeneous nucleation of vesicles. The theoretical distribution
requires the occurrence of strong maxima that are not observed in our experimental and natural samples, thus arguing for heterogeneous
nucleation mechanisms.

The viscosity of albite (NaAlSi3O8) melt was measured at high pressure by the in situ falling-sphere method using a high-resolution X-ray CCD camera and a large-volume
multianvil apparatus installed at SPring-8. This system enabled us to conduct in situ viscosity measurements more accurately
than that using the conventional technique at pressures of up to several gigapascals and viscosity in the order of 100 Pa s. The viscosity of albite melt is 5.8 Pa s at 2.6 GPa and 2.2 Pa s at 5.3 GPa and 1973 K. Experiments at 1873 and 1973
K show that the decrease in viscosity continues to 5.3 GPa. The activation energy for viscosity is estimated to be 316(8)
kJ mol−1 at 3.3 GPa. Molecular dynamics simulations suggest that a gradual decrease in viscosity of albite melt at high pressure may
be explained by structural changes such as an increase in the coordination number of aluminum in the melt.

Field relations and whole-rock geochemistry indicate that magma mixing has been important in the genesis of the late Mesozoic I-type igneous complexes at Pingtan and Tonglu in SE China. Morphological and trace-element studies of zircon populations in rocks from each of these complexes have defined several distinct growth stages [Mineral. Mag. (2001)]. In-situ LAM-MC-ICPMS microanalysis shows large variations in 176Hf/177Hf (up to 15 Hf units) between zircons of different growth stages within a single rock, and between zones within single zircon grains (up to 9 Hf units). These variations suggest that each of the observed magmas in both complexes developed through hybridisation of ≥2 magmas with different sources. Although this mixing has produced similar Sr and Nd isotopic compositions in the different rock types of each complex, the zircons have functioned as “tape recorders” and have preserved details of the assembly of the different magmas.
In the Tonglu complex the most primitive magma is a mafic monzonite (preserved as enclaves), whose isotopic composition suggests derivation from the lower crust; rhyodacites, rhyolites and quartz diorites reflect the mixing of the monzonite with ≥2 more felsic magmas, derived from older crustal materials. In the Pingtan complex, zircons in a quartz diorite enclave suggest mixing between a crustal magma and a more primitive mantle-derived component. Zircons from granites and granodiorite enclaves indicate mixing between the quartz diorite and more felsic melts with lower 176Hf/177Hf. Major changes in 176Hf/177Hf correlate with discontinuous changes in the trace-element composition and morphology of the zircons, in particular the development of sector zoning that suggests rapid disequilibrium crystallisation. We suggest that the magma mixing recorded by the changes in 176Hf/177Hf occurred during transport in magma conduits. The in-situ analysis of Hf-isotopic stratigraphy in zircons is a new and powerful tool for the detailed study of magma generation processes. 相似文献
