Application of the Gauss theorem to the study of silicic calderas: The calderas of La Primavera, Los Azufres, and Los Humeros (Mexico)

Continental Rift Setting for the Central Part of the Mexican Volcanic Belt: A Statistical Approach

“…Gravimetric studies [223,224] have shown that partial melts exist in the lower crust beneath the MVB, making the lower crustal involvement in the genesis of magmas a feasible process [5,26,225]. Crustal contamination has been invoked in several studies of evolved magmas from the MVB [28, 30, 31, 64, 66, 69-71, 226, 227].…”

Element mobility during the hydrothermal alteration of rhyolitic rocks of the Los Azufres geothermal field, Mexico

“…Three different fault systems can be distinguished in the LAGF (Garduño Monroy, 1988;Campos-Enriquez and Garduño-Monroy, 1995;Campos-Enríquez et al, 2005). They consist for the most part of steep normal faults striking prevalently to the NE-SW, E-W and N-S, in chronological order from the oldest (6 Ma) to the youngest system.…”

Location of silicic caldera formation in arc settings

“…The goal of this study is to determine whether silicic calderas consistently occur "behind" the volcanic front, defined by the stratovolcanoes and shield volcanoes closest to the trench. This phenomenon has been observed, for example, in Mexico (Campos-Enriquez et al, 2005), northern Central America (Rose et al, 1999), and the Central Andes (Seibel et al, 2001), but this study is the first to test whether it is universally the case. …”
