The importance of minerals and bubbles: (1) The internal trigger test: mapping overpressure regimes for giant magma bodies (2) Developing and incorporating instructional videos and quizzes as a blended and online learning component in an undergraduate optical microscopy curriculum.

It is important to understand what triggers silicic eruptions because of the implications for modern-day systems. Here, we use phase equilibria modeling to determine to what extent magmas within the crust are induced to erupt due to external triggers (e.g. earthquakes; new magma injection) and to wh...
