In volcanology, 2D morphometric analysis is a method often applied for quantitative characterization of eruptive products, used to compare tephra from different events or phases, infer eruptive styles and underlying clast generating mechanisms, or describ... see more

Crustal xenoliths embedded in lavas offer chances to provide information on the lithology of the volcano basement and the process occurring during magma ascent. In this work we studied seven xenoliths found among the scoriae ejected during several paroxys... see more
