On 28 December 2002, new vents opened on the flanks of Stromboli, just below the summit craters, interrupting the persistent activity of the volcano with a 7-month-long effusive eruption. We here report on the plagioclase size distribution (PlgSD) in lava samples collected following the chronology of the 2002-2003 eruption. Data reveal a linear PlgSD similar to that found in samples of normal Stromboli activity, indicating that the switch from Strombolian explosive to effusive activity is not associated with changes in texture. Nevertheless, the crystal size distribution slopes and intercepts exhibit slight sinusoidal temporal variations that are here ascribed to a magma supply mechanism able to induce "resonance" in the crystal size distribution, with an amplitude that depends on the supply rate.

“…Assuming G 0 = 10 À10 cm/s and J 0 = 10 À3 cm À3 /s (a reasonable result for basaltic volcanism, e.g. Resmini and Marsh, 1995) regarding a single cycle of emplacement of a magma carrying zero crystals, r reaches 0.012 cm (0.24 mm in diameter) when f reaches 0.20 (approximately equal to the modal proportion of normative olivine in Y-980459, 19 vol%, Greshake et al, 2004). Even considering one magnitude faster growth rate G 0 = 10 À9 cm/s, the crystal size of olivine only reaches up to 0.43 mm in diameter.…”

“…The distribution of these sizes in three dimensions, the crystal size distribution (CSD), can give much more information on petrological problems than the mean, modal, or maximum size (e.g., Cashman 1990; Cashman and Marsh 1988;Marsh 1988). CSDs can reveal aspects of the thermal history of a magma and may give information on growth rates and magma repose times (e.g., Cashman 1993;Resmini and Marsh 1995).…”

Studies of crystal size distributions (CSD) can reveal much about how rocks solidify and under what conditions. Data from two-dimensional sections can be readily acquired at many different scales, from electron microscope images, thin sections, slabs, outcrops, and so on, but the conversion to true, three-dimensional values is complex. The widely used Wager method does not have a good theoretical basis and does not give accurate results. A modification of the Saltikov correction method is proposed here that is more accurate and can account for different crystal shapes and fabrics. Population densities determined by this method differ by factors of 0.02 to 100 from those determined by the Wager method. Published CSDs determined using other methods can be recalculated if the crystal shape and fabric parameters can be estimated. The method has been incorporated into a new program, CSDCorrections.*
