Toward a near real-time magma ascent monitoring by combined fluid inclusion barometry and ongoing seismicity.

Fluid inclusion microthermometry on olivines, clinopyroxenes, and amphiboles was used during a volcanic eruption, in combination with real-time seismic data and rapid petrographic observations, for petrological monitoring purposes. By applying this approach to the study of 18 volcanic samples collected during the eruption of Tajogaite volcano on La Palma Island (Canary Islands) in 2021, changes in the magma system were identified over time and space. Magma batches with distinct petrographic and geochemical characteristics emerged from source zones whose depth progressively increased from 27 to 31 kilometers.
