From the article:
A new, Yale-led study unlocks the science behind a key ingredient—namely oxygen—in some of the world's most violent volcanoes.
The research offers a new model for understanding the oxidation state of arc magmas, the lavas that form some volcanoes, such as the one that erupted dramatically in Tonga earlier this year.
