This dataset contains data from two seismic and one infrasound array deployed at Mt. Etna during the late part of the 2020-2021 eruptive crises (May-November 2021). The arrays were composed as follow: 1) a 7-element array of 3-component, broadband (Trillium T120 compact) seismometers; 2) a 5-element array of 3-component short-period (Lennartz LE-3Dlite-MkII); 3) a 6-element array of broadband infrasound microphones (IST2018). All data were recorded with a sampling rate of 100 Hz and 24-bit resolution using Digos Datacube3 digitizers. The data were collected through a collaboration between the University of Liverpool, UK, and the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy, with the purpose of characterizing pre- and syn-eruption tremor signals at Etna, and their links to the timing, style and intensity of paroxysmal eruptive activity at the volcano. The dataset contains records of different examples of paroxysmal activity (i.e., intense episodes of sustained Strombolian explosions accompanied by emission of ash at the vent) as well signals associated with as explosive degassing at the summit vent. Data recovery rates for this experiment were high; there are only very minor gaps in the data owing to periods of scheduled maintenance and data download during the deployment period.

The dataset contains 3-component seismic data from seismometers deployed for one year Sept 204-August 2015 following the dyke intrusion from Bardarbunga which led to a 6 month long eruption at Holuhraun. The data is in miniseed format, archived at SEIS-UK and IRIS. The locations of all the microearthquakes we have identified from this data are published in Supplementary Information of Ágústsdóttir et al. (2016) [approx. 31,000 events from the Bardarbunga dyke], in Greenfield et al. [approx. 70,000 events from the Askja-Herðubreið area], and in Hudson et al. (2017), where they are publicly available for download. Ágústsdóttir, T., Woods, J., Greenfield, T., Green, R. G., White, R. S., Winder, T., Brandsdóttir, B., Steinthórsson, S. & Soosalu, H. (2016).

These data present volume estimates from images (using the solid of revolution method from the cross-sectional area) of clasts expanding during vesiculation at high temperature. The data also contain clast interior volume estimates without the dense rind around the clasts (formed by diffusive outgassing, and estimated through time),l which is is calculated in Matlab. The methods are provided in more detail in Weaver et al., 2022. These data contain sample measurements (surface area), total clast volume calculation (using solid of revolution from clast cross-sectional area), degassed skin area (using imerode in Matlab and the diffusion data provided in the table) and skin volume (solid of revolution from skin surface area), and core surface area and volume from the difference between total clast and skin volumes/skin area. All data are presented in Weaver et al., 2022 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2022.107550), where further details of the methods can also be found. All data were collected and analysed at the University of Liverpool using clasts from Hrafntinnuhryggur, Iceland. The geographical location of the samples collected is of no relevance to this study, as the samples were selected for their physical attributes. All data were collected and analysed throughout 2021 and 2022. Volcanic glass cylinders of different starting sizes were placed in a furnace at high temperature (1006 oC). Two furnaces were used, either a tube furnace with open ends to allow imaging of the sample silhouette, or a box furnace with a sapphire window to allow imaging of the sample as vesiculation takes place. Cross-sectional areas are then converted to volumes using solid of revolution as vesiculation is isotropic. Diffusion modelling is used to quantify the development of the fully degassed rind around the sample and used to estimate the rind volume through imerode in Matlab and solid of revolution. Total clast, core and rind volumes are thus able to be retrieved. As magmas approach the surface of the Earth, volatile saturation in the melt decreases, which results in volatile exsolution in vesicles (vesiculation) and outgassing. The interplay between the amount of vesicles trapped in the melt and those that diffusively outgas from the surface is dependent on the volume to surface area ratio. Understanding the kinetics of outgassing and vesiculation is key to understand pressure build-up in magmatic conduits and effusive-explosive transitions at volcanoes.

lectron probe analyses of the composition of plagioclase macocrysts from the 2021 eruption of the Fagradalsfjall eruption in Iceland. These were collected in profiles from rim-to-core and were designed for diffusion chronometry applications. This will be published in a article (in press in late 2022) in the journal Geology and with lead author Kahl. Analyses of a secondary standard across the many days of analytical sessions are also provided.

The dataset has been published open-access in Ilyinskaya et al. (2017), Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 472, 309-322 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2017.05.025 This study quantifies the air quality impact of Holuhraun eruption 2014-2015 on populated areas in Iceland. Specifically we trace the evolution of the plume chemistry from the eruption site to 2 key areas of population: Reykjahlid, which is the nearest municipality to Holuhraun at 100 km distance, and Reykjavik capital area, which hosts ~60% of Iceland's population, 250 km distance. This dataset is the full chemical analysis of filter pack samples of volcanic gas and aerosol, including trace species (e.g. heavy metals).

The Investigating Geophysical Unrest at Sierra NegrA (IGUANA) experiment was designed to monitor seismic activity associated with magmatic unrest at Sierra Negra volcano, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. In late 2017, it was apparent that Sierra Negra was likely approaching a new eruption, and that the volcanic edifice was critically stressed. The experiment captured seismic broadband data during the final approach to eruption, the eruption onset on 26 June 2018, and co-eruptive deflation.
