From: Degassing during quiescence as a trigger of magma ascent and volcanic eruptions

Example of the pressure change with time in the shallow reservoir of a persistently degassing volcano.
We use: years,
m,
,
Pa,
,
,
,
, dike width
m, gas flux ~ 3 kt/d, conduit radius
m, reservoir volume
m3, bulk modulus of the crust
Pa and effective viscosity of the crust
Pa s, mass fraction of volatiles exsolved during degassing
, density of degassed magma
kg/m3, density of non-degassed magma
kg/m3 (see Supplementary Equations S2 and ref. 6 for details on the calculation of the pressure change with time).
