Geothermal fields are prone to temperature fluctuations from natural hydrothermal activity, anthropogenic drilling practices, and magmatic intrusions. These may elicit a response the rocks in terms of their mineralogical, physical (i.e., porosity permeability), mechanical properties. Hyaloclastites highly variable volcaniclastic rock predominantly formed glass clasts that produced during nonexplosive quench-induced fragmentation, both subaqueous subglacial eruptive environments. They common...
Hot volcanic pyroclasts can sinter, vesiculate, and outgas in concert – a combination of processes which remains poorly constrained. And yet this occur coincidently during deposition from pyroclastic density currents, conduit-filling debris, tuffisites. In many these settings, it is the sintering-driven evolution permeability that key to gas transport through evolving deposit. Here, we experimentally theoretically investigate permeable networks sintering hot fragmental systems, are hydrous...
