Cryptic evolved melts beneath monotonous basaltic shield volcanoes in the Galápagos Archipelago
In this study the authors show that monotonous basaltic volcanoes can host a range of melts in their sub-volcanic systems, extending to rhyolitic compositions. The study implies that volcanoes which have produced monotonous basaltic lavas on long timescales could transition to more explosive, silica...
