Short summary
These results represent the first high-pressure and high-temperature degassing experiments simulating the injection of basaltic melt into a hydrous rhyolitic melt reservoir. Diffusion processes in the contact zone of the melts lead to a depletion of alkalis in the rhyolitic melt interface. The reduced alkali concentration significantly decreases the H2O solubility of the rhyolitic melt and promotes enhanced H2O vesicle formation and further degassing, which can trigger volcanic eruptions.
These results represent the first high-pressure and high-temperature degassing experiments...
