Vesicularity (phi) as a function of time for samples of natural hydrated silicate glass (obsidian) from optical dilatrometric analysis. Also numerical model for analysis of dataset and associated user guide.

The data consists of a spreadsheet containing rheology data for 39 samples of syrup, containing air bubbles and/or spherical glass particles. These data were used by Truby et al. (2014) to support a model for the rheology of a three-phase suspension. Each sample was placed in the rheometer (concentric cylinder geometry), and the stress was stepped up and then down, taking a measurement of strain rate at each step. Further details of the experiments may be found in Truby et al. (2014). NERC grant is NE/K500999/1. Co-author working with a NERC grant, NE/G014426/1.

Data output from the numerical flow modelling in GRL manuscript ""Evidence for the top-down control of lava domes on magma ascent dynamics"", by Marsden, L., Neuberg, J. & Thomas, M., all of University of Leeds. The models were created using the Laminar Flow module in COMSOL Multiphysics v5.4 by L. Marsden. The following files are uploaded: Archive_Reference_Model.txt (Reference flow model: Gas loss function, Initial H2O content = 4.5 wt.% Excess pressure at depth = 10 MPa, Constant corresponding to crystal growth rate = 4e-6 s^-1 ) Archive_High_H2O.txt (Gas loss function, Initial H2O content = 10 wt.% Excess pressure at depth = 10 MPa, Constant corresponding to crystal growth rate = 4e-6 s^-1) Archive_No_Gas_Loss.txt (No gas loss, Initial H2O content = 4.5 wt.% Excess pressure at depth = 10 MPa, Constant corresponding to crystal growth rate = 4e-6 s^-1) Archive_Gamma_Low.txt (Gas loss function, Initial H2O content = 4.5 wt.% Excess pressure at depth = 10 MPa, Constant corresponding to crystal growth rate = 1e-6 s^-1) Archive_Excess_Pressure_0MPa.txt (Gas loss function, Initial H2O content = 4.5 wt.% Excess pressure at depth = 0 MPa, Constant corresponding to crystal growth rate = 4e-6 s^-1) Archive_Excess_Pressure_20MPa.txt (Gas loss function, Initial H2O content = 4.5 wt.% Excess pressure at depth = 20 MPa, Constant corresponding to crystal growth rate = 4e-6 s^-1) The files uploaded include the reference flow model and where a single key parameter has been changed in the flow modelling. We include data where the key parameter is at the upper or lower limit of the values tested. Data are not included where magma ascent is modelled to stall without the extrusion of a lava dome, as a time dependent model is not run in this case. A solution is provided using equilibrium modelling only. The following variables are output, at conduit centre unless specified: Depth (m), Time(s), Ascent velocity (m/s), Bulk Viscosity (Pa s), Crystal Content, Dome height (m), Gas Volume Fraction, Overpressure (Pa), Shear Stress at Conduit Wall (Pa)

Laser ablation (LA) ICP-MS analyses (presented in parts per million, ppm) of melt inclusions from the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens (18th May-16th October). Detailed sample collection methods are given in Blundy et al. (2008). Blundy, J., Cashman, K.V. and Berlo, K.

Spatial and temporal datasets for shear-thinning and Newtonian small-scale analogue dyke experiments
These data consist of spatial and temporal datasets for 7 different small-scale laboratory experiments of fluid-driven fractures, described in the paper The hidden internal flow dynamics of shear-thinning magma in dikes (Kavanagh et al., 2025, accepted in AGU Advances, March 2025). These experiments, conducted at the University of Liverpool, are analogue models of magma transport via flux-driven dykes. The 7 experiments are named HEC1, HEC2, HEC3, XG1, XG2, W1, W2. Experiments HEC and XG involved the injection of a shear-thinning fluid (a hydroxyethyl cellulose polymer (HEC) and xanthan gum solution (XG)), whilst experiments W1 and W2 involved Newtonian water injections. Experiments HEC1, HEC3, XG1 and W1 were ‘seeded fluid experiments’ or ‘PIV experiments’, whilst experiments HEC2, XG2 and W2 were ‘seeded gelatine experiments’ or ‘dyke-thickness experiments’. We provide the raw experimental data along with the Matlab scripts used to process and plot the data. Further information is provided in the containing README documents.

These spatial and temporal image datasets are of mixing fluids in a dyke-like (slot) geometry investigated using low-temperature laboratory experiments which are described in the paper Analogue experiments to investigate magma mixing within dykes (Havard et al., in review in Bulletin of Volcanology, January 2025). The experiments are low-temperature analogue models of magma mixing within dykes and are dynamically scaled to the natural system. Seven unique experiments using seven different miscible fluid pairs, representing two magmas of differing composition, were conducted at the University of Liverpool. The miscible fluid pairs were (and the shortened experiment name is): water and diluted glycerol (ExpW1); water and pure glycerol (ExpW2); water and glycerol mixed with golden syrup (ExpW3); water and pure golden syrup (ExpW4); diluted glycerol and pure glycerol (ExpD1); pure glycerol and diluted golden syrup (ExpG1); pure glycerol and pure golden syrup (ExpG2). The experiment setup consisted of the lower density fluid placed above the higher density fluid in the tank apparatus, then the tank was inverted to initiate the interaction between the fluids. The raw data is a temporal series of photographs (JPGs) collected over the course of each experiment located within the subdirectories “Raw”. The raw data is processed using the scripts accompanying the dataset to show how density and mixing evolves spatially and temporally within the slot. Further details are available in the directory metadata file.

RINEX files of GPS observations obtained in the Uturuncu volcano and surroundings (Altiplano-Puna Deformation Anomaly) during the November 2018 and November 2022 campaigns. In the 2018 and 2022 campaigns, 8 and 10 GPS stations have been installed respectively to help constrain the temporal deformation at Uturuncu volcano. The data contains the GNSS observations made in the 2018 campaign at the stations of Depeche Mode (DEMO), Foo Fighters (FOOF), Jimmy (JIMY), Led Zeppelin (LDZP), Metallica (MTLC), Sex Pistols (SEXP), UBQ4 and UTU Base (UBAS) In the 2022 campaign at the stations of Depeche Mode (DEMO), Foo Fighters (FOOF), IGGY, Jimmy (JIMY), Led Zeppelin (LDZP), Metallica (MTLC), Nirvana (NRVN), Offspring (OFSP), Sex Pistols (SEXP) and UTU Base (UBAS) The following devices were used to obtain these data: -Receiver Leica GR30 (serial numbers 1705008, 1705617 and 1705619) -Antenna Leica AS10 (serial numbers 16071044 and 16151018) -Integrate antenna + receiver Topcon Hiper Pro (serial numbers 326-1106 and 342-0370) -Masts "Nysiros style" and UNAVCO single pin + masts. The duration of data collection ranges from 1 day to 6 days depending on the site of the collection.
