High vs Low Pressure Magma Chambers at Ventotene Volcano (Tyrrhenian Sea, Central Italy): Implication for Pure Plinian vs Caldera-Forming Eruptions Open
Eruptive styles are influenced by multiple factors, including magma chamber depth. At Ventotene volcano (Pontian Islands, Tyrrhenian Sea, central Italy), a transition at ~300 ka is observed from repeated ‘pure Plinian’ eruptions—i.e. witho…

Fossil feathers from the Colli Albani volcanic complex (Late Pleistocene, Central Italy) preserved in zeolites Open
Fossil feathers are usually preserved as carbonaceous films and impressions in lacustrine and marine sediments, or embedded in amber, but rarely mineralized. We report mineralized plumage of a griffon vulture preserved in an ash-rich pyroc…

Glacio-eustatic forcing on Middle Pleistocene fluvial–lacustrine depositional processes: a case history from the Tyrrhenian Sea margin of central Italy Open
The complex stratigraphic setting of alternating volcanic and fluvial–lacustrine sedimentary deposits in the surroundings of Castel Cellesi village (Latium region, central Italy) offers an unprecedented opportunity to examine the influence…

Grapevine rootstocks in K- and Ca-rich volcanic soils: The effect of mineral assemblage on nutrient uptake efficiency Open
This study examines element mobility in volcanic soils to evaluate the relationships between mineral assemblage and the uptake capacity of rootstocks. The Gravesac rootstock, which appears to have a low capacity to selectively absorb K, Ca…

<sup>40</sup>Ar/<sup>39</sup>Ar Age Constraints on MIS 5.5 and MIS 5.3 Paleo‐Sea Levels: Implications for Global Sea Levels and Ice‐Volume Estimates Open
We integrate 10 new with five published 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age determinations, both on primary volcanic deposits and on detrital sanidine, which provide precise geochronologic control on the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5.5 and MIS 5.3 sea‐level i…

A review of plagioclase growth rate and compositional evolution in mafic alkaline magmas: Guidelines for thermometry, hygrometry, and timescales of magma dynamics at Stromboli and Mt. Etna Open
Mafic alkaline magmas, such as those feeding the persistent eruptive activity of Stromboli and Mt. Etna volcanoes in Italy, are dominated by the crystallization of plagioclase via cooling and degassing phenomena related to the dynamics of …

Crustal rhyolite melts at mantle depths Open
Melts with rhyolite compositions originate from partial melting of crustal rocks or extensive differentiation of basaltic melts, at temperatures in the range of 800 °C. Accordingly, they are confined to the shallow continental crust. …
