Timescales of Magma Rise and CO2 Transfer in Basaltic Systems: Integrating FENS Diffusion Chronometry, Melt Inclusions and Petrological Barometry for …

Iceland is an excellent target for the development of diffusion chronometry: a number of recently active volcanic systems have been the target of extensive geological, geophysical and petrological study. It is therefore possible to understand the physical significance of timescales extracted from diffusion profiles in crystals and to link them to processes that may have relevance for volcano monitoring efforts.
