Excess degassing drives long-term volcanic unrest at Nevado del Ruiz

This study combines volcanic gas compositions, SO 2 flux and satellite thermal data collected at Nevado del Ruiz between 2018 and 2021. We find the Nevado del Ruiz plume to have exhibited relatively steady, high CO 2 compositions (avg. CO 2 /S T ratios of 5.4 ± 1.9) throughout. Our degassing models...

Zusammenfassung:This study combines volcanic gas compositions, SO 2 flux and satellite thermal data collected at Nevado del Ruiz between 2018 and 2021. We find the Nevado del Ruiz plume to have exhibited relatively steady, high CO 2 compositions (avg. CO 2 /S T ratios of 5.4 ± 1.9) throughout. Our degassing models support that the CO 2 /S T ratio variability derives from volatile exsolution from andesitic magma stored in the 1–4 km depth range. Separate ascent of CO 2 -rich gas bubbles through shallow (
