Title: Interpretation of volcanic gas data from tholeiitic and alkaline mafic lavas

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5376603

Data are tabulated for approximately 150 previously reported collections of high-temperature volcanic gases from basic lavas using computational techniques recently introduced by the author. Research problems dealing with the composition of volcanic gases and their relation to lava chemistry are outlined. The need for more accurate data on the volume of gases released during eruptions is also noted. (PCS)
