- Abstract:
- Measurements of degassing of sulphur species at active volcanoes are currently used as a tool for predicting the timing of eruptions. Furthermore the volcanic injection of sulphur into the stratosphere has the potential to cause catastrophic short term global cooling. To understand both of these processes and to explain the presence of excess sulphur in many eruptions, the solubility and speciation of sulphur in oxidised arc magmas is required. In this project we will perform high pressure and temperature experiments and measure the sulphur concentrations and speciation in the quenched glasses. The speciation measurements will involve development of 33S NMR measurements using unique state-of-the-art NMR facilities.
