Progressive hybridisation between Late Devonian mafic-intermediate and felsic magmas in the Meguma Zone of Nova Scotia, Canada
Article Abstract:
Three synplutonic mafic-intermediate intrusions have been found in two Late Devonian felsic plutons in the Meguma Zone of Nova Scotia, Canada. These intrusions post progressive phases of in situ hybridization. A spessartite dyke in the Port Mouton Pluton could have quickly cooled and crystallized after intrusion, while a pillowed kersantite probably contained residual magma. A diorite sheet may have acquired xenocrysts from residual magma.

Mafic magma batches at Vesuvius: a glass inclusion approach to the modalities of feeding stratovolcanoes
Article Abstract:
A study identifies the primary K-tephritic H2O-Cl-P-F-rich melts included in the olivine of 1906 lapilli as an example of primary magmas feeding Vesuvius during its recent activity. Glass inclusions in diopside and some olivine vary from K-basalt to K-tephrite with homogenization temperature of 1130-1170 degrees centigrade. The primary and near-primary Vesuvius magmas as indicated by melt inclusions are discussed.

May 5, 1998, debris flows in circum-Vesuvian areas (southern Italy): insights for hazard assessment
Article Abstract:
Data from the May 5, 1998 debris flow from the alluvial-fan deposits east of the Vesuvius volcano has been used to develop a model to evaluate the hazard potential of similar flows for the nearby Clanio Valley. Air-fall deposits have the potential for hazards that remain decades or centuries after a volcanic eruption.
