Understanding the storage conditions and fluctuating eruption style of a young monogenetic volcano: Blue Lake crater (<3 ka), High Cascades, Oregon
2020, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal ResearchCitation Excerpt :Historic cinder cone eruptions provide some insight into these questions. For example, well documented eruptions of Jorullo (1759–1774) and Parícutin (1943–1952) in Mexico were preceded by up to 3–4 months of seismicity (Gadow, 1930; Luhr and Simkin, 1993), which was likely related to ascent of the magma through the mid-upper crust (e.g., Yokoyama and De la Cruz-Reyna, 1990). For Jorullo, storage timescales estimated from olivine diffusion modeling show that magmas stalled for ~10–200 days in the upper crust prior to the eruption (Johnson et al., 2008), consistent with the ~four months of precursory earthquakes reported by locals (Luhr and Simkin, 1993).
Compositional and volumetric development of a monogenetic lava flow field: The historical case of Paricutin (Michoacán, Mexico)
2017, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal ResearchCitation Excerpt :Therefore, the Fries (1953) volumetric estimates for the cone (0.25 km3) and ash blanket (0.64 km3) might also be in error, as observed for the lava field, when the topographic correction is made. The eruption of Paricutin started on the 20th of February 1943 after several weeks of precursory seismicity (Yokoyama and De la Cruz-Reyna, 1990; McBirney et al., 1987). The first vent opened as a fissure crossing a flat area from which continuous low-magnitude pyroclastic activity rapidly produced a cinder cone during the first weeks (Foshag and González-Reyna, 1956).
Causes of distal volcano-tectonic seismicity inferred from hydrothermal modeling
2017, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal ResearchCitation Excerpt :This is because, at higher permeabilities, topography drives deep convection, with unstable, evolving pressures and temperatures (Supporting Information Text S5 and Fig. S4). Further, dVTs have also been observed in calderas (large, basinlike depressions) such as Krafla, Iceland, and, although eruptions at monogenetic fields are rare, precursory volcano-tectonic earthquakes were observed before the 1943 Paricutin eruption (Yokoyama and De la Cruz-Reyna, 1990). Such observations suggest that topographic relief may be a secondary factor.
Compositional evolution of magma from Parícutin Volcano, Mexico: The tephra record
2010, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal ResearchCitation Excerpt :Capture of rising magma by faults has been demonstrated theoretically (Gaffney et al., 2007) as well as in the field (Valentine and Krogh, 2006), and seems likely in regions of extension, such as the MGVF. If the 45 days of precursory seismic activity recorded at Parícutin (Yokoyama and de la Cruz-Reyna, 1990) records the time period of initial development of a shallow storage system, we can infer the amount of magma that may have been stored in the upper crust prior to the onset of eruption. Assuming a magma supply rate equivalent to the average mass eruption rate for Phase 1 (8 × 104 kg/s; Pioli et al., 2008), we calculate that ~0.1 km3 of magma could have accumulated in a dike and sill complex prior to the onset of eruptive activity (less that 10% of the total erupted volume of 1.3 km3; Fries, 1953).

2009, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal ResearchCitation Excerpt :Scoria-cone eruptions can also be accompanied by earthquakes. The only recent such eruption, Paracutin volcano in 1943, was preceded by earthquakes with a magnitude of up to 4.5 (Yokoyama and de la Cruz-Reyna, 1990). Such earthquakes would have certainly been felt at Aiyansh, 20 km to the north of the cone.
