The decrease in the shear strength of volcanic materials with argillic hydrothermal alteration, insights from the summit region of Teide stratovolcano, Tenerife

“…1a). The age of this eruption is poorly constrained; Quidelleur et al (2001) date it at 500-1100 BP, Carracedo et al (2007) at 1000-1300 BP and, based on geomagnetic secular variation, it has been dated at 630 BP (V. Soler, personal communication, 1998). Prior to this last eruption, the summit of Teide underwent at least two episodes of vertical collapses (Fig.…”

Construction and destruction rates of volcanoes within tropical environment: Examples from the Basse-Terre Island (Guadeloupe, Lesser Antilles)

“…The atmospheric contamination is determined by the comparison of the 40 Ar/ 36 Ar ratios of the sample and of an atmospheric dose, measured under strictly similar pressure conditions. This approach allows us to determine a radiogenic 40 Ar ( 40 Ar*) as low as 0.1% (Quidelleur et al, 2001), making the CassignolGillot technique especially suitable for very young and/or low-K lavas (Gillot and Cornette, 1986).…”

The geological evolution of Merapi volcano, Central Java, Indonesia

“…The relative uncertainty of the K measurement is~1% over a range of K contents between 0.1 and 15.0 %. The detection limit of the radiogenic Ar content is 0.1 % (Quidelleur et al 2001), which makes the Cassignol-Gillot technique especially suitable for the dating of very young rocks (e.g. Gillot et al 2006).…”
