dc.description.abstractCordon Caulle in southern Chile has produced three dacitic to rhyolitic fissure eruptions over the past century (in 1921-1922, 1960 and 2011-2012), and thereby provides an ideal opportunity to examine the architecture of its underlying silicic system. While the 2011-2012 eruption has been extensively studied, comparatively little is known about the 1921-1922 and 1960 events. Major-element matrix glass analyses from the 1960 products (71.5 wt.% SiO2) are indistinguishable from the 2011-2012 data (72.2 wt.% SiO2), but the 1921-1922 analyses form a discrete, slightly less evolved sub-population (69.0 wt.% SiO2). We utilise rhyolite-MELTS geobarometry to estimate both the storage and extraction depths of all three magmas. For all three eruptions, magma was stored in the shallow crust, between 80-150 MPa (3.5-6.6 km). The 2011-2012 magma body spanned this whole depth range but the 1921-1922 and 1960 magma bodies were more confined in pressure, at 90-112 MPa (4.0-5.0 km) and 123-143 MPa (5.4-6.3 km) respectively. Melt extraction from a parental crystal-mush occurred in the range 70-200 MPa (3.1-9.0 km) for all three eruptions, suggesting contiguous melt segregation and storage in the shallow crust. Finally, we discuss whether the deeper magma storage in 1960 reflects the influence of a seismic trigger by events associated with the Mw9.5 Great Chilean earthquake. (C) 2021 The Author(s).
