Changing magma dynamics and plumbing system architecture at an explosive–effusive transition: the case of Nisyros volcano (Greece)

The two most recent eruptive events of Nisyros volcano (Greece) record the interaction between variably evolved magmas by the presence of mafic enclaves, indicative of multiple recharge events within the magma chamber. We use the mineral chemistry composition to constrain the location of the main eruptible reservoirs and their evolution at the transition from explosive to effusive activities, with implications for magma migration and storage in the crust.
