How to Link Observations Across Scales?
How to expand our toolbox for magma forensics?
What are the dynamic templates that produce large scales?
How are they reflected at the crystal scale?

Three types of zoning patterns thatcommonly occur in ignimbrites

Mechanisms to produce compositional gaps and gradients
![Page 5: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Type of gradient
Abrupt Linear (monotonic)
Not measurable
Archtypal Examples
Crater Lake, Aniakchak, Toconao-Atana, Katmai (Payne et al., V21C-2122), Chaitén (Lowenstern et al., V43D-2180)
Bishop Tuff, Huckleberry Ridge Tuff,Bandelier Tuff
Monotonous Dacites (Fish Canyon Tuff, Lund Tuff, Cerro Galan)Rhyolites (Taupo)
Gradients in ignimbrites (See Table 1 in text)

Compositional Gap (“Daly Gap”)
Fig. 2 from paper

CF-induced Daly GapSame P-T, isotopic ratios
Trace element concentration = crystal fractionation
Interstitial melt in mafic (crystal-rich) end-member compositionally similar to silicic end-member
(Crustal melting unlikely)

Interstitial melt expulsion from crystal-rich mushesBachmann and Bergantz, 2004
1. Crystal-melt separation time within longevity of magma chambers
2. Melt expulsion enhancers (gas-driven filter-pressing, earthquake fluidization)

Gradients require mixing- what do we need? Stretching + Folding: Circulation (many scales of strain)Mixing requires a:
1) a magma chamber
2) paddle, thermal plumes, crystal plumes, bubble plumes, compositional effects
3) an energy source- some change in the environment to produce kinetic energy
![Page 12: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Well, What Dictates the Dynamic Template?
The Reynolds number:
Re uL
Most of us know that this number delimts three regimes:
1) Re << 1, laminar flow, neglect inertia
2) Re > 104, fully turbulent, self-similar flow MIXING TRANSITION
3) 104 > Re >1 chaotic advection, both inertia and viscosity important

Demonstrate dripping crystal plumes
See paper by Bergantz and Ni, 1999 cited in chapter
![Page 14: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Mixing “Efficiency” For ‘system-wide’
mixing caused by vertical transport, e.g. some flavor of plume, Jellinek and others proposed the concept of “mixing efficiency.”
BUT be very careful about this concept- it is really a measure of STRATIFICATION
Jellinek et al., 1999Jellinek et al., 1999

Formation of a cap by escape from sill-like mush (instead of from the walls)
Unzoned cap
Bringing together types of zoning into a common framework
What happens in the cap?Top: cooling and assimilationBottom: T-buffered mush belowConvection in cap but weak, low-Reynolds number
![Page 16: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Gaps and zoning- no big deal after all!
![Page 17: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Processes that Produce Complexity in a Crystal Cargo
Mixing In-situ hyper-solidus recycling: dynamic
mush Concurrent melting, assimilation and
deformation
What are links to the dynamic templates?
![Page 18: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Simulations of gas driven overturn with “smart” crystals
Movies from:
“Modeling of gas-driven magmatic overturn: Tracking of phenocryst dispersal and gathering during magma mixing” Ruprecht, Bergantz and Dufek, G3, v. 9, no. 7, 2008
![Page 19: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Conclusions from simulations:
For 2x105 crystals report back: A single overturn is sufficient to gather
crystals onto a thin-scale from as much as a 100 m initial separation. Continued choatic stirring can increase these distances, in accord with natural examples.
![Page 20: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
But what do crystals really remember?
Depends on rate of travel through regions of distinct chemical potential vs. rate at which crystals can record to changes
Damköler number:
If Da << 1, kinetics dominate
If Da >> 1, equilibrium assumption okay

Crystals as recorders of events in real-time
For rapid, e.g., gas driven overturn, crystal growth will lag and only record an “echo” of the process (Da << 1), but dissolution may reach Da ~ 1
For slower processes rate-limited by heat transfer, both growth and dissolution will have Da ~1 or more
![Page 22: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Mostly in large, crystal-rich magmas with intermediate (dacitic) composition (Monotonous Intermediates)
Also true for large granodioritic batholiths (main upper crustal building block)
How to reach homogeneity on large volumes of viscous crystal-rich magmas?
Low Re convection inevitably leads to gradients???? How to retain homogeneity on large volumes?
New magma recharge will inevitably occur???
Homogeneity
![Page 24: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
New mass injections limited to similar compositions?
Once a critical crystallinity is reached, silicic mushes act as density filter, buffer for T, C
But crystals often very strongly zoned…
![Page 25: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Spectacular small-scale disequilibrium in FCT, a “homogeneous intermediate”
Reflects a long history of overturn
(Charlier et al., 2007)
![Page 26: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Time scales have dual nature: homogeneity at the large scale, heterogeneity at the small scale
Toba: chem oscillations in allanites > .4 M.y. before eruption; cycling of crystals through hyper-solidus domains (Reid et al.)
Bandelier Tuff: reheating prior to eruption (Wolff et al.) Fish Canyon: reverse mineral zoning, complex crystal
compositions (Bachmann, Charlier et al.) Tuolumne Intrusive Suite: complexly zoned zircons, Spirit Mtn., Mojave system: complex rejuvenation of
intrusive sheets, zoned zircon (Miller et al.)
![Page 27: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Lengthscale-dependent mixing
Some bulk mixing must occur Crystals record a changing
environment- not just change in intensive variables
Zoning patterns different in juxtaposed crystals
Homogeneous at hand sample scale
![Page 28: The Processes and Timescales That Produce Zoning and Homogeneity in Magmatic Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042901/56814c5d550346895db97c1d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Large silicic system are NOT just “strips” of rhyolite- geophysical evidence: Long Valley Caldera. Very different from Mt. St. Helens.
New injections of basalt or intermediate magma common

Unzipping
1. Sluggish convection regime• Gradients induced by crystal plumes, assimilation,
mixing• As system grows, assimilation and mixing become
more transparent• Lock-up from floor as crystal accumulation reaches
~50 %vol Cooling slows down (at least by a factor of 2) New magmas can not mix in => Heat plate
2. Unzipping
