The use of magmatic water to reconstruct palaeo-ice thicknesses during subglacial rhyolitic eruptions

Magma degassing patterns can potentially be used to reconstruct ice thicknesses during subglacial eruptions, as the pressure dependence of water solubility in silicate melts is reasonably well constrained. The amount of water remaining in the quenched bulk glasses should record the quenching pressur...
