Trachytic Melt Viscosity Data and Calculator from Campi Flegrei Eruption

Sumith Abeykoon and colleagues published viscosity data for trachytic melt in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth. The dataset includes a viscosity calculator and is hosted on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on May 12, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling magma ascent and eruption dynamics based on viscosity data.
• Calibrating rheological models for trachytic melts based on integrated analyses.
• Studying the link between melt composition and physical properties based on spectroscopic data.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed publication in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth.
• Includes a viscosity calculator tool, enhancing utility for modeling.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (67.8 KB), indicating limited scope.
