“…According to previous studies Ruiz, 2002, 2007;González et al, 2010a;Becerra, 2013;Poblete et al, 2016) these volcanoes were the ones that present a major stratigraphic and morphological complexity, and the new data collected permitted to establish the succession of erupted products, as well as the morphological evolution of the cones. This information was used to reconstruct the eruptive phases and styles that occurred in the construction of these volcanoes (e.g., Fisher and Schmincke, 1984;Manville et ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Martí et al, 2018;Németh and Palmer, 2018), as well as to determine the interactions that took place between the eruptive activity of each volcano with the fluvial dynamics of the Jabalón River. This was done by establishing precise stratigraphic correlations between the volcanic deposits (lava flows and pyroclastic deposits) and the fluvial terraces deposited by the Jabalón River in the vicinity of both volcanoes.…”

In this study we analyze the geomorphological evolution and chronology of the eruptive phases of the Columba and Cuevas volcanoes (Campo de Calatrava Volcanic Field, Central Spain). These are two cinder cones located at the margins of the Jabalón River valley, between the localities of Granátula de Calatrava and Aldea del Rey (Ciudad Real). In order to generate geomorphological map, we conducted fieldwork and photointerpretation of aerial images, in addition to morphometric and volcanostratigraphic analyses aimed at correlating the volcanic deposits and fluvial terraces of the Jabalón River. Finally, we applied OSL (optically stimulated luminescence) dating to obtain the age of fluvial deposits affected by both volcanoes, plus radiocarbon dating to the organic matter of a paleosoil located between the Columba volcano deposits. The results provide a maximum age of 75.16 ± 4.9 ka for the formation of the Cuevas volcano. Moreover, the Columba volcano began its activity with a Strombolian phase around 33.9 ± 2.36 ka BP, followed by a long period of inactivity between 24.9-23.2 ka and 14-13.5 ka BP in which the aforementioned paleosoil formed. Subsequently, the eruptive activity resumed with a phreatomagmatic phase followed by another Strombolian phase, in which a lava flow was emplaced crossing and damming the Jabalón River, thus forcing the deposition of a 9 m thick fluvial terrace above it, at about 6.27 ± 4.28 ka. The Columba volcano is a good example of polycyclic eruptive behavior in a monogenetic volcanic field, whose last eruption occurred between 14 and 6.2 ka ago. The interaction between volcanic and fluvial processes were responsible for the morphological evolution of the area, the study of which has been crucial to

“…Classification for primary volcanoclastic deposits follows White and Houghton (2006). Nomenclature for volcanic stratigraphy is based on Martí et al (2018). 35 stratigraphic sections were measured and used to document the geometry of the deposits and their component proportions (Table 1) but stratigraphic details are only reported here for 15 ( Fig.…”

The Temascalcingo volcano is a dacitic stratovolcano located at the eastern part of the Acambay graben, a tectonic basin in the central sector of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB), which is an active, mostly calc-alkaline volcanic arc that crosses Mexico from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. This study characterises the explosive activity of the San Mateo Pumice eruption that is the most recent and largest paroxysmal episode of this volcano and the last unit of the Cerritos Member. Indeed, this eruption is associated with an undated debris avalanche event consisting of a major sector collapse developed on the western flank of the volcano. Stratigraphic data suggest a highly explosive eruption that generated a relatively thick (up to 10 m) and widespread pumice fallout deposit, trending to the NE, and an aerial distribution of at least 100 km 2. This subplinian type eruption of VEI 4 lasted about 9 h and produced a plume height up to 12 km above the vent (i.e.,~14 km above sea level). This type of explosive eruption is relatively common in the TMVB, so a comprehensive geological study, with the corresponding numerical simulations like the one that was carried out, contributes to the understanding of the explosive volcanism of modest size stratovolcanoes that are common in the TMVB.

“…Land surface processes interact with volcanic activity in a wide variety of environmental settings (Gudmundsson et al, 2002;D'Argenio et al, 2004;Smellie et al, 2018;Pistolesi et al, 2020). Such interactions are important to understand in volcanic terrains to elucidate their geological evolution (Manville et al, 2009;Zernack et al, 2011;Martí et al, 2018;Nemeth and Palmer, 2019). Here we describe such processes on the volcanic island of Jan Mayen located at 71°N, 8°30'W in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea (Fig.…”

We provide the first documentation of tectonic deformation resulting from a volcanic eruption on the island of Jan Mayen. Vertical displacement of about 14 m southwest of the stratovolcano Beerenberg is associated with an eruption in AD 1732 on its southeastern flank. The age of the uplift event is bracketed by radiocarbon-dated driftwood buried by material deposited due to uplift, and by tephra from this eruption. Constraints, inferred from radiocarbon ages alone, allow for the possibility that uplift was completed prior to the AD 1732 eruption. However, the occurrence of tephra in the sediment column indicates that some displacement was ongoing during the eruption but ceased before the eruption terminated. We attribute the tectonic deformation to intrusion of shallow magma associated with the volcanic eruption. Our results complement previous studies of volcanic activity on Jan Mayan by providing precise age constraints for past volcanic activity. Also, it raises new hypotheses regarding the nature, timing and prevalence of precursor tectonic events to Jan Mayan eruptions. The uplift caused the complete isolation of a coastal lake by closing its outlet to the sea, thus landlocking the facultative migratory fish species Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus).
