Melt Inclusions in Volcanic Systems: Methods, Applications and Problems

Benedetto De Vivo and Robert J. Bodnar (Eds.)9780444511515, 0444511512

Melt inclusions provide a unique record of the physical and chemical processes operating in active magma chambers associated with volcanic systems. This book includes a summary of modern techniques used to study and interpret melt inclusions in volcanic rocks, as well as descriptive studies of specific volcanoes. These various studies document the enormous potential for melt inclusions to provide a window into the dynamics of active magma chambers.
