An assessment of the quality of microanalysis of natural silicate glass using scanning electron microscope-based energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS)

Gualda G.A.R., Frontoni A., Wallrich B.M., Harmon L.J., Smithies S.L., Chiaro G.R., Pamukçu A.S.

American Mineralogist, 2026

The composition of volcanic glass records important clues into the origin and evolution of magmatic systems. However, the analysis of volcanic glass presents challenges when performed using electron-beam techniques, particularly due to Na mobility. While...

Neapolitan Yellow Tuff revisited: a new look to stratigraphy and eruptive dynamics of a complex eruption of Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy)

Gonzalez G., Giaccio B., Isaia R:, Lucchi F., Natale J., Costa A., Mele D., Monaco L., Amato V., Dellino P., Nomade S., Pereira A., Scao V., Siani G., Sulpizio R.

Earth-Science Reviews 283, 105711

Large caldera-forming eruptions are among the most complex and hazardous volcanic phenomena, yet their reconstruction is often hindered by incomplete preservation of proximal deposits and temporal variability of eruptive processes. The Neapolitan Yellow...

Unravelling the gap between the probabilistic volcanic hazard and risk perception: A comparative study of tephra fallout at Etna and Vesuvius volcanoes

Mele D., Lanciano T., Caporale D., Bellucci Sessa E., Massaro S., Nave R., Patimo R., Piazza R., Puglisi G., Rainò S., Rinaldi A., Scollo S., Sulpizio R.

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction 143 (2026) 106325

Volcanic risk management frequently encounters a significant gap between Probabilistic Volcanic Hazard Assessment and subjective risk perception. This study addresses this issue by comparing communities exposed to tephra fallout from two contrasting volcanoes...

Mafic-ultramafic igneous rocks as a source of reactive phosphorus for the origin of life

Baidya A.S., Walton C.R., Kalita J., Szilas K., Viccaro M., Savage P.S., Allison S., Nisbet E.G., Schönbächler M., Mikhail S., Stüeken E.E.

Nature Communications, 17, 8994.

Phosphite and pyrophosphate - reduced and polymerized forms of phosphorus - may have played a central role in prebiotic chemistry owing to their higher reactivity and solubility, yet their geological sources remain uncertain. Here we show that mafic–ultramafic...
