“…4a,b), well within analytical uncertainty. Next, we consider a fluid inclusion which may have been trapped in the deeper South Caldera reservoir (∼4 km, 1300 °C) before being mobilised to the Halema'uma'u reservoir (∼1 km depth, 1150 °C), and stored for 0-2 years prior to eruption (based on diffusion timescales from Mourey et al, 2023;Fig. 4c,d).…”

Interpreting signals of volcanic unrest requires knowledge of the architecture of the magmatic system, particularly the depths at which magmas are stored. Such information can be vital to help predict changes in eruptive style and vigour. However, popular petrological tools to assess magma storage depths (e.g., melt inclusions) are costly, present large uncertainties, and are too slow for real time monitoring. Here, we evaluate the reliability of Raman Spectroscopy measurements of CO 2dominated fluid inclusions as a geobarometer relative to microthermometry and melt inclusion barometry. We calculate storage pressures for 102 olivine-hosted fluid inclusions from the 2018 Lower East Rift Zone eruption of Kīlauea, which are statistically indistinguishable to those determined from melt inclusions. We show that calibrated Raman spectroscopy yields densities within 5-10 % of microthermometry for CO 2 -dominated fluid inclusions (<10 mol % H 2 O) but is a far more suitable method for systems like Kīlauea dominated by shallow magma storage. Overall, pressures determined from fluid inclusions by Raman spectroscopy are robust and require only a fraction of the time and resources of melt inclusion studies.
