OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In this seminar I explore contemporary understanding of silicic magmatic systems with a focus of the formation of large silicic magma chambers that are capable of large magnitude explosive eruptions. I discuss silicic melt generation in the middle and lower crust, melt segregation, magma transport and mechanisms of forming magma chambers and triggering of major eruptions.
