Crystal Size Distribution Analyses of Isothermal Deformation Experiments

In this work we aimed to investigate and quantify the relative importance of dynamic conditions (e.g., stirring in a Concentric Cylinder apparatus) on the crystallization kinetics of basaltic magmas (Stromboli). This was achieved by observing the final textures of the samples, analysing the resulting SEM images, and finally relating the resulting parameters to specific growth and nucleation rates. The dataset is made of: 1) A folder called "SEM Images" with two sub-folders inside, representative of the two experiments carried out, called "CG1" and "CG2.3" 2) An Excel file, consisting in 4 data sheets, where all results of image analysis are included, divided in sections. The sheets are also available in CSV format.

CAMSIZER Particle Size Data from Explosive Paroxysms of Mt. Etna (2011–2025)

Mt. Etna in Catania, Italy, is an active volcano that has served as a natural laboratory for many volcanologists worldwide. Its paroxysms are unique eruptive events caused by a complex magmatic system that, despite being one of the most studied volcanoes, there is still an open field to contribute to the understanding of magma dynamics and degassing. This data set is a compilation of grain-size and shape measurements of 14 tephra samples of Mt. Etna. The tephra samples correspond to some of the most explosive cycles and events of the volcano from 2011 to 2025. The measurements were obtained using CAMSIZER through the ILGE TNA grant funding at INGV sezione di Catania. This dataset is the basis for a research project investigating the controls on the volume of gases and magma emitted during an eruption of Mt. Etna.

High-Precision Iron Isotopic Analysis of IAEA-B5 basalt and rock Reference Materials

We report the results of high throughput, robust, and sensitive method for the precise analysis of 56Fe/54Fe and 57Fe/54Fe, performed using Multi-Collector-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS), Thermo Scientific Neptune PlusTM. We measured the Fe isotope compositions of widely used standard reference materials ranging from basaltic to rhyolitic compositions (JB-2, BHVO-2, BE-N, AGV-1, and RGM-1). We also propose a new iron isotope reference material, IAEA-B5, a basalt from Mount Etna already commonly used as a reference for B and Li isotopes.

A Database of Centrifuge Analogue Models Testing the Influence of Pre-Existing Weak Zones During Continental Compression

This dataset presents the raw data of an experimental series of centrifuge models performed to test the influence of pre-existing weak zones in the lower crust (herein after referred to as Weak Lower Crust –WLC) during continental compression. We varied the width of the WLC, the dip of the interfaces bounding the WLC and the frictional properties at the WLC-LC interface by using lubricant (vaseline). In this dataset, we provide four different types of data, that can serve as supporting material and can be used for further analysis: 1) The top-view photos, taken at different stages and showing the deformation process of each model; 2) Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) used to reconstruct the 3D deformation of the performed analogue models; 3) Line-drawing of fault and fracture patterns to be used for fault statistical quantification; 4) A Python script to draw swath profiles (outputs) of the analogue models. Further details on the modelling strategy can be found in the publication associated with this dataset and in Milazzo et al. (2021), using a similar setup for achieving compression in the centrifuge. Materials used for these analogue models were described in Corti (2012), Montanari et al. (2017), Del Ventisette et al. (2019), Zou et al. (2024) and Wan et al. (2025).

The noble gas isotopic composition of the upper mantle in non-arc oceanic settings: Inferences from fluid inclusion studies

OIB localities (e.g., Tristan, Samoa) have been considered ideal natural laboratories for studying mantle heterogeneity. Indeed, Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopes of lavas collected from OIB systems have provided insights into the existence of distinct mantle reservoirs, the origins of which are closely related to local tectonic processes: DMM, HIMU, EM1, and EM2. In this context, we aim to investigate the isotopic composition of noble gases in fluid inclusions trapped in xenoliths and lavas from Samoa and Tristan islands, two well-known enriched mantle (EM) localities. Our goal is to evaluate the role of noble gas cycling and active tectonic processes on the composition of the upper mantle. Our results show that CO2 is the most abundant volatile in all samples (lavas and xenoliths) from both localities. The 4He/20Ne ratio in most samples is lower than 150, suggesting the presence of atmospheric components in the fluid inclusions. This is further confirmed by the relatively low 40Ar/36Ar ratios, particularly in Tristan samples, which show values below 360. It is worth noting that the Samoa sample exhibits a 40Ar/36Ar ratio of 1000.4, the highest of the dataset. The Rc/Ra values (3He/4He corrected for atmospheric contamination) observed in the Samoa samples align with the Ar ratios mentioned above, as the 3He/4He ratio is the highest reported (13.32Ra). This is above the MORB range, indicating a contribution from lower mantle fluids, likely derived from the Samoan hotspot. In contrast, Tristan samples exhibit low Rc/Ra values, with an average of 5.12Ra. These low helium ratios suggest the presence of a more radiogenic, 4He-rich mantle. The low helium ratios may be related to the EM nature of the mantle. Previous studies in the Canary Islands have shown a decrease in 3He/4He ratios in the eastern part of the archipelago, where EM components have been identified (Hoernle et al., 1993; Simonsen et al., 2001; Day and Hilton, 2011, 2021; Sandoval-Velasquez et al., 2021). However, it is confirmed that an EM component can show a wide range of variation for the 3He/4He ratio, ranging from low values of 5-6Ra to values beyond the typical MORB range, which overlaps (and complicates the distinction) with other OIB contexts with HIMU signature.

Magnetic biomonitoring of airborne metallic particles using lichen transplants on cultural heritage – The Jerónimos Monastery, Lisbon, Portugal. Preliminary Results

Magnetic biomonitoring employing lichens transplants is a non-invasive and low-cost method to evaluate airborne particulate matter (PM) pollution originated from urban traffic. This study was designed to assess the indoor deposition of traffic-related PM within the 16th-century Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, employing lichen transplants exposed during two distinct periods of 11weeks each. Data includes the low field magnetic susceptibility values for all the lichen transplants, exposed during summer 2024.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of massive and porous of lavas from S. Miguel Island (Azores, Portugal)

The role of elongated pores and crystals of lavas influences their mechanical and physical behaviour, providing a first microstructural clue. In the context of a doctoral project, two samples – a trachyte and a basalt/andesite (s.l.) - representative of Fogo Volcano (S. Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal) were collected as part of an intact rock study. They were microstructurally assessed in the INGV-OV (Naples) using the ZEISS Xradia Versa 410 X-ray computed microtomography to obtain high-resolution 3D images, as well as to perform real-time in-situ mechanical tests (uniaxial – 7 mm diameter cylinders - and Brazilian – 13 mm diameter discs) to assess how elongated pores/crystals control strength. In addition to 3D images of the samples, which allow segmentation of the pore space and crystals, mechanical tests show that trachytes are more competent than vesicular basalts/andesites. Both pores and crystals control the development of the crack pattern.

Trace element concentration of minerals in the Morro São João malignites (Serra do Mar, Brazil)

The Morro São João intrusion is located in the easternmost part of the Serra do Mar province, along the Cabo Frio lineament (Fig. 1) and has an area of approximately 10 km². It is a Late Cretaceous intrusion formed by clinopyroxenites, melagabbros, shonkinites, malignites, nepheline syenites, and phonolite dikes, without olivine, and is thought to have formed by closed system crystallization of a fairly evolved tephritic melt of potassic/ultrapotassic affinity (cf. Brotzu et al., 2007). We have analyzed two malignites, and specifically, their liquidus phases (clinopyroxene, titanite, garnet, amphibole). Analyzing the trace elements in these minerals helps us to better understand the different fractionation of the elements in these coexisting phases, and the implications for the evolution processes that occurred in the Morro São João magma reservoir. These analyses also provided important information about the concentration of rare earth elements (REEs) and high field strength elements (HFSEs), and their change with the magmatic evolution of the suite.
