Chemical composition of volcanic products of Miyakejima 2000 eruption


A mineralogical and chemical description of the volcanic products of 2000 Miyakejima eruption is reported. The volcanic products of both June 27 submarine eruption and August 18 summit eruption are focused because they are believed to be clues to understand the magmatic processes in progress at Miyakejima.
