We present the results of phase equilibrium experiments carried out on basanite and phonotephrite lavas from Ross Island, Antarctica. Experiments were designed to reproduce the P-T-X-fO₂ conditions of deep and intermediate magma storage and to place constraints on the differentiation of each of the...
