Abstract
Large volcanic eruptions are frequently triggered by the intrusion of hot primitive magma into a more evolved magma-chamber or -mush zone. During intrusion into the cooler mush zone, the basaltic magma undergoes crystallization, which in turn can release heat and volatiles to the mush. This should cause a drop in bulk mush-viscosity, potentially leading to its mobilization and even eruption. The non-linear changes in the transport properties of both magmas during this interaction also modulate how the magmas accommodate deformation during both interaction and ascent. As such, this interaction represents a complex disequilibrium phenomenon, during which the material properties guiding the processes (dominantly viscosity) are in constant evolution. This scenario highlights the importance of non-isothermal sub-liquidus processes for the understanding of natural magmatic and volcanic systems and underlines the need for a rheological database to inform on, and to model, this interaction process. Here we present new experimental data on the disequilibrium rheology of the least evolved end-member known to be involved in magma mixing and eruption triggering as well as lava flow processes in the Phlegrean volcanic district (PVD). We measure the melt's subliquidus rheological evolution as a function of oxygen fugacity and cooling rate and map systematic shifts in its rheological “cut off temperature; Tcutoff” (i.e., the point where flow ceases). The data show that (1) the rheological evolution and solidification behavior both depend on the imposed cooling-rate, (2) decreasing oxygen fugacity decreases the temperature at which the crystallization onset occurs and modifies the kinetics of melt crystallization and (3) the crystallization kinetics produced under dynamic cooling are significantly different than those observed at or near equilibrium conditions. Based on the experimental data we derive empirical relationships between the environmental parameters and Tcutoff. These empirical descriptions of solidification and flow may be employed in numerical models aiming to model lava flow emplacement or to reconstruct the thermomechanical interaction between basalts and magma mush systems. We further use the experimental data in concert with existing models of particle suspension rheology to derive the disequilibrium crystallization kinetics of the melt and its transition from crystallization to glass formation.
Introduction
General Overview
The growing number of inhabitants, tourists, and economic activities near volcanoes require adequate volcanic hazard assessment and mitigation plans to guide decision-making in the case of volcanic unrest. Large eruptions across many volcanic centers on Earth are documented to have been triggered by intrusion of hot primitive (basaltic) magma into an evolved (dacite to rhyolite) magma-chamber or -mush zone (Sparks et al., ; Blake and Ivey, ; Eichelberger et al., ; Laeger et al., ; Morgavi et al., ); examples include the Campi Flegrei and Yellowstone calderas (Civetta et al., ; Pritchard et al., ; Morgavi et al., ), Quizapu (Ruprecht and Bachmann, ) and Pinatubo (Pallister et al., ). During this intrusion process the primitive melt cools and crystallizes (Wager and Bailey, ; Wiebe, ; Blake and Fink, ), and is able to supply heat and volatiles to the evolved magma mush, which brings forth large changes in the effective viscosity of both melts during the interaction. Heating and volatile fluxing of the mush cause a drop in mush-viscosity and may mobilize the mush zone, whereas cooling of the primitive melt against the crystal mush triggers crystallization and solidification of the intruding melt (Wiebe, ). The primitive melt's dynamic rheology during intrusion and quenching against the magma mush in turn guides its emplacement geometry and thus the nature and efficacy of this interaction (i.e., heat and volatile transfer); see for example Sparks and Marshall (), Blake and Fink () and references therein. The resulting, non-linear changes in the magma transport properties during solidification may therefore modulate the generation of large volumes of eruptible magma and may separate scenarios generating eruptible vs. non-eruptible magma and dictate effusive vs. explosive behavior.
In this interaction process, the solidification of the primitive intruding magma during quench against the cooler evolved magma represents a key rheological transition zone. During solidification, slight changes in magma componentry (i.e., volumetric fractions of melt vs. crystals) produce remarkable changes in effective viscosity. Even though this transition zone has long been identified (Bruce and Huppert, ; Griffiths et al., ; Lyman and Kerr, ; Iezzi et al., ; Vetere et al., ) and the computational capacities to model volcanic eruptions have grown exponentially over the past decades (Miyamoto and Sasaki, ; Costa and Macedonio, ; Favalli et al., ; Herault et al., ), the available computer models do not produce coherent results. This is, in part, because such predictive approaches rely on accurate rheological data that are applicable to the modeled scenarios, which are very scarce to date.
The viscosity of crystal- and bubble-free silicate melts is reasonably well-constrained (Giordano et al., ) and the growing availability of rheological data of analog materials has been consolidated to model the effect of particles and bubbles on the viscosity of analog suspensions; See Mader et al. () for a review. Natural multicomponent systems are, however, more difficult to characterize owing to the challenges of high temperature rheometry. Despite these difficulties, several studies on the rheology of crystal bearing natural magmas and lavas at constant temperature and pressure have been accomplished in the past decade; for example (Ishibashi and Sato, ; Vona et al., ; Vona and Romano, ; Chevrel et al., ; Campagnola et al., ; Soldati et al., ). Volcanic eruptions and magma migration, however, occur almost exclusively under dynamic disequilibrium conditions (e.g., decreasing pressure and temperature), inducing changes in the thermomechanical state of the melt and thereby its rheology. These changes determine whether and how a magma is able to erupt and, thus, its risk potential for mankind and the environment.
Experimental data on the rheological evolution of crystalizing magmas are indispensable to provide accurate rheological models for the assessment of volcanic eruption styles and intensities. To date, data straddling these critical transition zones under non-isothermal conditions are, however, scarce. Measurements at disequilibrium conditions, employing new experimental methods (Giordano et al., ; Kolzenburg et al., , ; Vetere et al., ) and infrastructure (Kolzenburg et al., , ) have only recently become more numerous. This underlines the relevance of developing a comprehensive database of the temperature dependent rheology of crystallizing magmas and lavas in dynamic temperature–, shear-rate–, and oxygen fugacity (fO2) -space to accurately constrain physical property based lava flow and magma mixing models. Such a database can then be employed to derive theoretical flow laws for lavas and magmas under disequilibrium conditions.
Magma Interaction in the Phlegrean Volcanic District (PVD)
The Phlegrean volcanic district (PVD; Naples, Italy) poses a significant threat to both the local population as well as the Eurasian continent as a whole, especially since the caldera has entered a new cycle of unrest (Kilburn et al., ; Forni et al., ). Forecasting of volcanic behavior in the PVD is, in part, hampered by a lack of understanding of magma transport properties, inhibiting accurate assessment of flow and migration timescales. Magma transport in the recent volcanic history of the PVD (i.e., in the past 10 ka) that was sourced from deep shoshonitic–latitic reservoirs followed one of two general paths (Arienzo et al., ): (1) ascent as dikes (for example along regional faults), ultimately reaching the surface and producing both explosive and effusive eruptions and (2) stalling of the ascending melt in magma chambers of shallower depth where they interacted with resident melts, further differentiated and/or were contaminated. In the latter case, mixing of at least three different magmatic components has been suggested based on Sr-isotopic disequilibria among pumice samples, whole rocks and hosted minerals (D'antonio et al., ). In fact, interaction between the evolved magma storage system and intruding primitive magmas is a ubiquitous process in the PVD (Civetta et al., ; Mangiacapra et al., ; Isaia et al., ; González-García et al., ; Morgavi et al., ) and is documented in several ignimbrites (Civetta et al., ; Moretti et al., ) as well as dome lavas (Melluso et al., ). The Fondo Riccio, Minopoli, and Santa Maria delle Grazie eruptions are of particular interest here, as they document extensive interaction of potassium-rich-basaltic magmas with trachytes—producing explosive eruptions of latitic composition (Cannatelli et al., ; Isaia et al., ). This highlights that the interaction between basaltic and trachytic magmas has the potential to trigger eruptions in the PVD and is important to consider for future Phlegrean eruptions.
Here we present new experimental data on the disequilibrium rheology of the least evolved end member known to be involved in both lava flow production and magma mixing and eruption triggering processes in the PVD. We further deduce the basalt's disequilibrium crystallization kinetics from the rheological data by employing particle suspension rheology models that were validated on analog materials. This enables us to address two major limitations in current efforts to investigate magma and lava crystallization dynamics under disequilibrium: (1) textural investigations of disequilibrium measurements are commonly impeded due to the rapid crystallization kinetics; this new approach allows comparison of volumetric crystallization rates and (2) using this approach, the melt's crystallization kinetics can be assessed at shear rates relevant for natural magmas and lavas, which classic crystallization experiments in the absence of deformation can not address.
Sample Preparation and Experimental Methods
Sample Selection and Geological Relevance
While Shoshonitic (high K) and latitic lavas and melt inclusions are abundant in the PVD (e.g., in the Minopoli and Fondo Riccio eruptions) and have long been though to represent the least evolved end members of the magma interaction process (Civetta et al., ; Di Vito et al., ; Pappalardo et al., ; Di Matteo et al., ; Mangiacapra et al., ), eruptive products cropping out on the islands of Procida and nearby Ventotene and melt inclusions within them (D'antonio et al., ; de Astis et al., ; Fedele et al., ; Esposito et al., ) suggest the presence of less evolved, lower SiO2 and K2O (bordering calc-alkaline) melts than previously thought. This observation is also supported by the presence of primitive melt inclusions in the eruptive products of the Campanian Ignimbrite; See data compilation in Moretti et al. () and references therein. Trachybasaltic compositions have also been measured in melt inclusions entrapped in olivine crystals from the Pomici Principali eruption (Arienzo et al., ). Thus, while the erupted magmas at Campi Flegrei differ slightly from those erupted on Ischia and Procida, it is likely that xenoliths of high-K basaltic composition in the Solchiaro tuff (Procida) represent the least-evolved rocks of the whole PVD (D'antonio et al., ; Esposito et al., ).
The composition chosen for this study is reported in Table 1 and the experimental sample is compared to a selection of compositions reported in melt inclusions and whole rock analyses from the studies reviewed above in Figure 1. Note that while the composition used in these experiments was chosen with the PVD magmatic system in mind, the results presented here are applicable for the interpretation of a large variety of magmatic and volcanic processes in a range of tectonic settings where melts of similar composition are present.

Sample Preparation and Compositional Analysis
The experimental sample was synthesized from powder mixtures (100 g decarbonated equivalent) of SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MnO, MgO, CaCO3, Na2CO3, and K2CO3. Powders were mechanically homogenized before melting. Melt homogenization was performed by repeating the following procedure twice: The powders were melted in thin–walled Pt crucibles (100 ml) in a Nabertherm® MoSi2 box furnace at 1,500°C (in air), as successive additions of ~10 grams added every 5 min. This process avoids spillage of the melt as a result of foaming. Synthetic samples vesiculate during synthesis due to decarbonization, producing a bubbly melt. This vesicle loss is complete after ~20 min at 1,500°C and the crucible remains in the furnace for ~1 h after initial melting to ensure complete degassing. Melting of the 100 g sample yield was done in Fe saturated crucibles, ensuring that Fe-loss to the crucible is negligible. Loss of volatile elements is negligible due to short melting times and a small surface to volume ratio of the sample. The melt is quenched to a glass by pouring it onto a steel plate. This glass is then crushed and milled in an agate mortar and re–melted into a Pt80Rh20 cylindrical crucible of 51 mm height and 26.6 mm diameter for viscometry. Final homogenization took place in a concentric cylinder viscometer by re-melting and stirring the sample at 40 rpm at 1,500°C for 12 h.
The resulting glass composition is measured with a Cameca SX100 electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA). Analyses are performed at 15 kV acceleration voltage and a defocused beam (10 μm) and 5 nA beam current is used to minimize the alkali loss. Calibration standards are wollastonite (Ca), periclase (Mg), hematite (Fe), natural orthoclase (Al, K), and albite (Na, Si). The precision is better than 2.5 % for all analyzed elements and was determined by analyzing two reference glasses at the start of the analytical session. Homogeneity of the sample is verified by performing ~12 analyses per sample. The measured glass composition is reported in Table 1.
Backscattered electron images and Energy Dispersive Spectra (EDS) for elemental analysis to determine the crystal stoichiometry are collected using a Phenom XL desktop scanning electron microscope, equipped with a Phenom ProX EDS detector, that is located at McGill University. The machine is operated at 15 kV acceleration voltage with a spot size of ~1 μm.
Iron Redox Titration
Measurements of iron redox state are performed on samples recovered from the gas mixing furnace using a dip quench approach for which an alumina ceramic rod is dipped into the melt and the sample is extracted from the furnace. Quenching to below Tg occurs within a few seconds. The sample material is digested in concentrated sulfuric (H2SO4) and hydrofluoric (HF) acids. Potassium dichromate titration, calibrated against iron(II) ethyldiammoniumsulfate, is then performed on these digestions and the amount of Fe2+ is determined via the following redox reaction:
In combination with the EPMA analyses, these data are used to calculate the Fe2+/FeOtot. of the sample and the analytical results are reported in Table 1.
Concentric Cylinder Experiments
We perform both isothermal super-liquidus viscosity concentric cylinder measurements and non-isothermal viscometry experiments on the synthetic sample. Concentric cylinder measurements are a widely–applied method for viscometry of silicate melts at both sub- and superliquidus temperatures (Dingwell and Virgo,
The sample used to measure the liquid viscosity is also used for all sub–liquidus experiments. Each cooling-rate is individually calibrated for these constant cooling-rate experiments, since the thermal inertia of the measurement setup creates unique thermal conditions (lag after initiation of cooling and offset between furnace and sample temperature). The experimental procedure, device calibration and the limitations of constant–cooling-rate experiments are presented in Kolzenburg et al. (
Relative Viscosity and the Effect of Crystallization on Melt Composition
The viscosity of silicate melts is highly temperature dependent and increases by several orders of magnitude with decreasing temperature. Below the melt's liquidus temperature this viscosity increase is paralleled by crystallization, increasing the solid fraction in the magmatic suspension, which further increases the effective viscosity of the magma.
Separating the temperature dependence of the melt viscosity from the effect of crystal growth on the apparent viscosity of the magmatic suspension requires a model of the temperature–viscosity dependence of the pure melt. To develop such a model we estimate the melt viscosity in the supercooled liquid state by application of a shift factor to data from differential thermal analysis (DTA) following the approach presented in Gottsmann et al. (
where ηr, ηs, and ηl are the relative viscosity, the suspension viscosity (i.e., liquid plus crystals), and the liquid viscosity, respectively.
During crystallization the residual melt composition may change since certain components are removed from the melt to form crystals. This change is largest once the magmatic suspension has reached thermodynamic equilibrium and at atmospheric f O2 conditions because crystallization is at its thermodynamic maximum and oxidizing conditions favor crystallization (Mysen et al.,
Results
Liquid Viscosity
Results from the super-liquidus concentric cylinder viscosity measurements are plotted in Figure 2 and the data are reported in Table 2. The melt viscosity increases by 0.08 log units with increasing f O2 (i.e., oxidation). This increase is tied to the increased degree of melt polymerization that results from the transition of network modifying, five – and/or six-fold coordinated Fe2+ to tetrahedral Fe3+.

Summary of liquid viscosity measurements (high temperatures) and model estimates of the low temperature viscosity of the melt.
For temperatures below 1,185°C at reduced conditions and 1,210°C in air, the torque reading does not stabilize but constantly increases, suggesting slow crystallization of the sample. When re-measuring at higher temperatures, steady and reproducible torque readings are achieved, supporting this observation. Data from these unsteady measurements and at lower temperatures are discarded for the analysis of the liquid viscosity, as these do not represent a pure melt viscosity but a suspension of melt and crystals.
Disequilibrium Rheology
The experimental data at varying cooling-rates and oxygen fugacities are plotted as absolute viscosity in Figure 3A and relative viscosity in Figure 3B. Initially, the viscosity measurement follows the trend of the liquid data and the extrapolated VFT fit for the supercooled liquid. Hence the resulting log ηr is zero (0) (Figure 3B). Tables 3, 4 report the data as log absolute and log relative viscosity, respectively. Once crystallization begins due to the increasing undercooling experienced by the sample, the apparent suspension viscosity increases relative to the theoretical liquid trend (i.e., ηr >0). This departure occurs at progressively increasing degree of undercooling (i.e., below the liquidus temperature) with increasing cooling-rate. Undercooling is largest for the highest cooling-rate and progressively decreases for lower cooling-rates. These relative viscosity (ηr) changes are directly linked to the crystallization-rate, as they result purely from a larger fraction of crystals impeding flow.

Summary of the calculated relative viscosities of all experiments.
For simplicity, interpolated values of the experimental data at equal temperature steps are reported with exception of the final datapoint for each experiment; highlighted in grey. Temperatures related to those points are reported in the last two rows in Kelvin and Celsius, respectively.
With decreasing f O2 both the onset of crystallization (i.e., the point of initial departure of the viscosity data from the VFT model) as well as the rheological cut-off shift to lower temperatures. Reducing conditions further bring forth a change in the samples crystallization kinetics, decreasing the temperature of crystallization onset but inducing higher crystallization rates once the process starts (i.e., steeper slopes in Figures 3A,B). Specifically, the onset of crystallization is suppressed by at least 12 degrees for the slowest cooling rate of 1 K/min and up to 100 degrees for the fastest cooling rate of 5 K/min. A detailed description of the changes in crystallization kinetics is presented in the section titled “Deducing Disequilibrium Crystallization Kinetics” below. While the onset of crystallization shifts drastically, the Tcutoff temperature does not change as much as a result of the more rapid crystallization kinetics and only varies between 3 and 15 degrees for cooling rates between 0.1 and 1 K/min; the Tcutoff prediction for cooling rates of 3 and 5 K/min was inconclusive for measurements at reducing conditions; see the next section for details.
A Solidification Model for Campi Flegrei Basalts
Mechanical constraints of the experimental apparatus inhibit measurements beyond the highest viscosity values reported in Table 3. The two main limitations are: (1) the rheometer torque limit and (2) the frictional limit of the crucible holder, where, when overcome, the sample container starts to slip and rotate; rendering the measurement invalid. To overcome these limitations and evaluate the solidification temperature of the suspension, Kolzenburg et al. (
where dΩ/dt and d2Ω/dt2 are the rate and acceleration of the monitored phenomenon, respectively. A and α are empirical parameters (Voight,
where T is the temperature, and (dη/dT)0 is the value of (dη/dT) at the temperature of crystallization onset. Plotting the inverse viscosity rate against temperature describes a linear trend of negative slope, where the temperature at which dη/dT tends to infinity (i.e., sample solidification) is equal to the temperature at which the inverse rate reaches zero; details are reported in Kolzenburg et al. (
Figure 4

Sample plot of TFM results, showing inverse viscosity acceleration rate vs. temperature. Data are plotted for a cooling rate of 1 K/min reducing and oxidizing conditions in are plotted in subplots (A,B), respectively. Small inserts show the respective viscosity measurement. Blue open circles report the measured data interpolated at 1 degree intervals. Red filled circles highlight the peak acceleration values used in the TFM for fitting of the linear viscosity acceleration model to extrapolate to Tcutoff. Black squares represent the forecasted Tcutoff (i.e., dη/dT = ∞). The precision of the viscosity measurement is ± 3%.
The viscosity acceleration is small (i.e., large inverse acceleration) at high temperatures, and the data plot randomly. Once crystallization starts, the measured effective viscosity of the suspension increases in an accelerating manner. This forces the data to converge on a linear trend of negative slope. Tcutoff is then obtained by linear extrapolation of the peak acceleration rates of this trend to the X-axis. Note that at reduced conditions, the TFM is inconclusive for high cooling rates. This is because at these high cooling rates, where the zone between liquidus and glass transition temperature is crossed very rapidly, sample crystallization is effectively suppressed, favoring glass formation and inhibiting deduction of Tcutoff.
The values recovered using this method are plotted for all experiments as a function of cooling rate in Figure 5. In order to derive a simple, empirical, model that describes the solidification of the investigated melt power law curves are fitted to the Tcutoff values. These describe the data with R-squared values of 0.977 and 0.997 for oxidizing and reducing conditions, respectively.

The blue solid and red dashed lines represent the power law model fitted to these data describing Tcutoff as a function of cooling rate for oxidizing and reducing conditions, respectively.
Post Experiment Sample Texture and Phase Assembly
After all rheological experiments, the furnace is turned off and the sample remained in the furnace during cooling, where it partially crystallized. This sample was prepared to investigate the nature of the growing crystals. Reflected light photomicrographs shown in Figure 6 reveal that the crystal habits are acicular, dendritic to fibrous and the crystals form low aspect ratio, “snowflake” type, clusters of 15–50 micron diameter. Note that the sample crystalized in the absence of deformation, which affects the crystal habit and thus, the crystals show dendritic rather than euhedral growth (Kouchi et al.,

Discussion
Deducing Disequilibrium Crystallization Kinetics
As outlined in the previous section, direct textural ties between the relative viscosity data and crystal content or shape are not currently possible in these experiments. This is because the rapid nucleation and growth rates, which also vary with decreasing temperature, do not allow recovery of representative samples during or after the dynamic cooling experiment. However, the decrease in Tcutoff (i.e., the point where the melt effectively solidifies) with increasing cooling rate is a direct result of changes in crystal-nucleation and -growth kinetics. These vary with the rate at which the sample is driven into undercooling (Kolzenburg et al.,
A number of models have been proposed that describe the relative viscosity of a particle suspension as a function of particle volume fraction, particle shape, and the surface nature of the particles. For a detailed review see for example Mader et al. (
We couple this model to the Φm model for rough particles presented in Mueller et al. (
Where Φm1 is the maximum packing fraction for equant particles, which is reported by Mueller et al. (
The sample recovered after the last experiment shows spherulitic, radial growth of acicular crystals that form clusters with aspect ratios ~1 (see Figure 6). Stoichiometric analysis of the EDS data revealed that the crystallizing phases are dominantly clinopyroxene inter-grown with small amounts of plagioclase. Higher aspect ratio, euhedral crystals may form at lower cooling rates and lower degree of undercooling (Vona and Romano,
Figures 7A,B show an example of the evolution of crystal volume fraction deduced from the rheological data as a function of temperature and time, respectively. The data show that for smaller aspect ratios, a somewhat higher crystal volume fraction is required to produce the same rheological response as calculated for higher aspect ratio particles, reflecting the effect of particle shape on the maximum packing fraction (Mueller et al.,
Figure 7

Results from the deduction of the crystallization kinetics from rheological data. The data shown in these example plots are from dynamic crystallization experiments at a cooling rate of 0.2 K/min. (A) Evolution of crystal volume fraction deduced from the rheological data as a function of temperature and comparison to equilibrium models at the Ni-NiO and QFM+1 buffers. Crystal fraction (Φ) reconstructed for aspect ratios and resulting Φm of 1–5. (B) Evolution of crystal volume fraction deduced from the rheological data as a function of time.
In order to deduce the volumetric crystallization rate, we evaluate the crystal volume derived from the experimental data as a function of time. An example of this evaluation that allows tracking the volumetric crystallization rate is plotted in Figure 7B. After an initial, slow, increase in crystal volume fraction, the crystallization rate accelerates as the melt reaches higher degrees of undercooling and reach maximum values as they approach Tcutoff.
For an analysis of the changes in crystallization rate as a function of the experimental conditions we evaluate the average and maximum crystallization rates of all experiments, reconstructed for an aspect ratio of 2.5. Average crystallization rates represent the mean slope of the curve in in Φ – t space (Figure 7B), whereas maximum crystallization rates represent the steepest slope in 8 – t space, as the sample approaches Tcutoff. Note that, while the deduced volumetric crystallization rates vary depending on the assumed crystal aspect ratio, the overall process kinetics remain unchanged. The results of this analysis are plotted for average and maximum crystallization rates in Figures 8A,B, respectively. At cooling rates <1 K/min, both average and maximum volumetric crystallization growth rates increase with increasing cooling rate and hence increasing degree of undercooling independent of fO2 conditions. While time averaged crystallization rates are similar at both oxidizing and reducing conditions, maximum crystallization rates are higher at low fO2, reflecting the later onset but faster acceleration of the viscosity signal discussed for the data plotted in Figure 3. For measurements in air, this trend continues up to the highest measured cooling rate. At reducing conditions, however, cooling rates > 1 K/min suppress crystallization, resulting in a decrease of both average and maximum crystallization rates. This departure marks the onset of the transition from crystallization driven solidification to glass formation.
Figure 8

Results from the deduction of average (A) and maximum (B) volumetric crystallization rates from rheological data presented in log-log space. At cooling rates <1 K/min, average crystallization rates (A) are similar independent of fO2 conditions, at cooling rates >1 K/min, the average crystallization rates under reduced conditions drastically decreases - indicating the initiation of glass formation rather than crystallization. At cooling rates <1 K/min, maximum crystallization rates (B) increase with decreasing fO2 and are higher than those measured in air, whereas at cooling rates >1 K/min, maximum crystallization rates plummet under reducing conditions in a similar way as the average crystallization rates.
Conversely to the results from standard crystallization experiments, that only allow to assess the time averaged growth rates of crystals between the liquidus temperature and the end of the experiment when the sample is quenched, the approach presented here allows to track the dynamics of the crystallization process in time and temperature space. This highlights the potential for rheology derived evaluations to provide insights into process dynamics that are not assessable in standard techniques for measuring the crystallization kinetics of silicate melts. Further, it allows tracking the onset and systematics of the transition from crystallization to glass formation of silicate melts.
Implications for Lava Flow Emplacement
Measured cooling rates in basaltic lavas range from 0.01 to 15 K/min (Flynn and Mouginis-Mark,
Lava flows (with a wide range of compositions from basaltic, trachybasaltic to phono-trachitic) are a common feature throughout the PVD and nearby volcanic centers. Examples include: Procida and Ventotene Islands (D'antonio et al.,
Further, and more generally, the data allow for the concept of a lava yield strength to be replaced by a Tcutoff model that is melt specific and dependent on composition, shear- and cooling-rate (Kolzenburg et al.,
Implications for Magma Interaction
Aphanitic textures in basaltic melts quenched against more evolved magma or crystal mushes are ubiquitous in the geological record (Wager and Bailey,
Additionally, the thermal and mechanical state of the magma or mush that the basalt quenches against is equally important in driving this interaction. If the magma is crystal poor and thus relatively low in viscosity, the basaltic intrusion may disperse and form enclaves, such as proposed in for example Wiebe et al. (
Limitations on the Applicability of the Presented Data
The data, discussion and the derived models presented above provide tools to modeling disequilibrium transport conditions in magmatic systems. It is however important to highlight the parameter space in which these are applicable in order to ensure that any results derived from these models describe meaningful geological processes.
Extrapolation of the Tcutoff models presented in Figure 5 suggests that higher cooling rates would result in a decreasing effect of cooling rate on Tcutoff, whereas lower cooling rates would further increase Tcutoff. Since the Tcutoff model describes a crystallization induced threshold, it is important to highlight that it is only applicable at disequilibrium conditions (i.e., under constant cooling rates) and sub-liquidus temperatures. This Tcutoff model is bound by two distinct thermodynamic points: (1) the melts' liquidus temperature at the high temperature end, above which no crystallization occurs and (2) the melts' glass transition temperature (Tg) at the low temperature end, where solidification occurs by glass formation, not crystallization. This means, that at lower cooling rates than measured here, the Tcutoff model is bound by the temperature at which the crystal content is equal to the maximum packing fraction Φm at equilibrium conditions (i.e., the equilibrium solidification limit), which is a function of the crystal aspect ratio and polydispersity (Mueller et al.,
Further, when interpreting the data with respect to nature, it has to be noted that both pressure and volatile activity (e.g., aH2O and aCO2) affect the crystallization-dynamics of the melt and, therewith, its rheological evolution. The presented experiments are performed on vesicle-free melts at ambient pressure. With respect to the pure melt viscosity, aH2O has the largest effect, and addition of only a few weight percent of water may decrease Tg by over 100 degrees and viscosity by up to 6 log units in rhyolites and 1.5 log units for basalts (Dingwell et al.,
Conclusions
Based on the data presented above and the accompanying analytical results and discussion we draw the following conclusions:
Disequilibrium conditions affect Tcutoff and, therewith, lava flow length as well as melt-mush interactions in magmatic systems.
Varing oxygen fugacity affects both the lavas crystallization kinetics and Tcutoff. Specifically, more oxidizing conditions increase Tcutoff and lower peak crystallization rates.
Tcutoff can be predicted via a modified FFM (failure forecasting method) and the derived solidification models may be employed in models of lava flow emplacement and magma ascent dynamics that aim to include the melts' thermorheological properties.
The presented data contribute to a growing database of the temperature dependent viscosity of crystallizing lavas and magmas in dynamic temperature–, shear-rate–, and f O2-space needed to accurately constrain physical property based lava flow and magma mixing models.
The rheological evolution of basalts during intrusion into cold mush zones dictates emplacement geometry and, therewith efficiency of heat and volatile transfer.
Disequilibrium crystallization kinetics can be derived from rheological data and allow to track the dynamics of the crystallization process in time and temperature space. This provides insights into process dynamics that are not assessable in standard techniques for measuring crystallization kinetics.
Future studies need to systematically address the effect of pressure to expand disequilibrium rheology models to magmatic conditions.
