Primary data from Wadsworth et al. (2022) investigating water retention in volcanic glass. Samples from the 2011-2012 Cordon Caulle eruption were prepared as thin slices and measured using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) at JAMSEC in Japan. The data were collected to study the competition between H2O degassing and sintering in volcanoes and its implications for permeability.
Use Cases
- Modeling H2O degassing kinetics based on measured water concentrations in glass particles.
- Investigating the relationship between sintering and permeability development in volcanic conduits.
- Calibrating or validating FTIR spectroscopy methods for volcanic glass analysis.
Strengths
- Data are the primary measurements published in a peer-reviewed manuscript (Wadsworth et al., 2022).
- Sample preparation is described in detail, involving epoxy mounting and grinding to ~0.05 mm thickness.
- Analysis was conducted using a specific, established technique (FTIR) at a named facility (JAMSEC).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
