A Multiphysics Approach to Constrain the Dynamics of the Altiplano‐Puna Magmatic System
2021
Continuous Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) monitoring (> 25 years) has revealed a concentric surface deformation pattern above the Altiplano-Puna magma body (APMB) in the central Andes. Here, we use a joint interpretation of seismic imaging, gravity anomalies and InSAR data to constrain location, 3D geometry and density of the magma body. By combining gravity modelling, thermomechanical modelling, scaling law analysis and Bayesian inference, we are able to create a relationship between the geometry of a mid-crustal magma body and surface observations. Furthermore, we can estimate the uncertainties associated with the geometry of the APMB and identify the most important para…
Decompression and Fracturing Caused by Magmatically Induced Thermal Stresses
2023
Studies of host rock deformation around magmatic intrusions usually focus on the development of stresses directly related to the intrusion process. This is done either by considering an inflating region that represents the intruding body, or by considering multiphase deformation. Thermal processes, especially volume changes caused by thermal expansion are typically ignored. We show that thermal stresses around upper crustal magma bodies are likely to be significant and sufficient to create an extensive fracture network around the magma body by brittle yielding. At the same time, cooling induces decompression within the intrusion, which can promote the appearance of a volatile phase. Volatil…
Quantification of volcano deformation caused by volatile accumulation and release
2022
<p>Magma stored in the crust may exsolve a significant amount of volatiles, primarily CO<sub>2</sub>, but also H<sub>2</sub>O and SO<sub>2</sub> if cooling promotes crystallisation and volatile exsolution. These volatiles may, over time, segregate and accumulate into a gas-rich foam at the roof of the magma body. This is the underpinning process to explain the frequently observed ‘excess gas’ produced in explosive eruptions, where the amount of erupted SO<sub>2</sub> is much larger than can be explained by the mass of erupted products and …
