Short summary
We provide new insights into the release of H2O from the phonolitic melt of the Laacher See volcano. Decompression experiments conducted at superliquidus conditions revealed uniformly dispersed vesicles throughout the samples, with extremely high vesicle numbers regardless of the decompression rate. These findings enhance our understanding of volcanic eruptions and might suggest that rapid volatile release due to off-critical spinodal decomposition increases explosive volcanic activity.
