Volcanic plumbing systems dynamics and their timescales can be inferred by using a variety of different methodologies, from crystal studies to geophysical modelling. Analog and numerical modeling can reproduce magma feeding system processes. On top of these, AI and machine learning algorithms are widely used to boost the performances of each single method. Monitoring data analysis and inversion allow pinpoint magma movement. Petrologic studies are able to derive magmatic chemical and physical properties and their evolution. Particularly, crystals offer crucial records of magmatic processes, allowing investigation of physico-chemical conditions during magma evolution and the magma pathways through Earth's mantle and crust. By analyzing crystal compositions and textures, it is possible to reconstruct the history of magma storage and transport, investigating specific processes, including fractionation, recharge, mixing, assimilation, and degassing.
This session proposes a comprehensive view of magma plumbing system processes and at all spatial and temporal scales from natural cases, numerical modelling and experimental works. We welcome contributions using cutting edge and/or more traditional approaches suitable for decoding all the information that can be extracted from single analytical techniques. Interdisciplinary works using one or more of the above mentioned aspects are particularly welcome.
