Volcan de Colima in Mexico is the source of samples for this dataset. The data form the central part of a published study and were generated by deforming cored rock samples at high temperatures up to 1000°C under controlled stresses at LMU in Munich, Germany. This work provides generalized insights into the flow behavior of crystal-bearing magmas.
Use Cases
- Modeling volcanic eruption dynamics based on the viscous flow behavior of crystal-melt mixtures.
- Calibrating geophysical models of magma ascent based on experimental stress-strain relationships.
- Studying the influence of temperature and stress on the deformation of natural magmatic materials.
- Inferring subsurface flow regimes in volcanoes based on laboratory-derived rheological parameters.
Strengths
- Data are directly linked to a peer-reviewed publication (DOI: 10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2024.108198).
- Experiments were performed under controlled, geologically relevant conditions (temperatures up to 1000°C).
- Samples are from a well-known, active volcano (Volcan de Colima) with precise geographic coordinates provided.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale statistical modeling.
Provenance
- Source
- Government Digital Service
- Collection Method
- Samples were cored from volcanic blocks, returned to high temperatures, and deformed in a hydraulic press equipped with acoustic emission sensors.
- Geography
- Volcan de Colima, Mexico (19.512727°N, 103.617241°W)
