Crystals in rhyolitic melts can nucleate multiple bubbles: an experimentally constrained model

Abstract Heterogeneous nucleation of bubbles on crystals in magma is thought to be an important driver of volcanic eruptions. Decompression experiments were carried out to elucidate the kinetics of H 2 O bubble nucleation on crystals of different sizes. Samples used were mixtures...
