The cooling process recorded in sub-glacially erupted rhyolite glasses: rapid quenching, thermal buffering and the rate of formation of meltwater.

The thermal histories of two subglacial rhyolite glasses from Torfajökull complex of south central Iceland have been determined from changes in the relaxation of enthalpy in the calorimetric glass transition interval. Heat capacity measurements of bulk glass samples from Rauðufossafjöll (sample numb...
