To address magma reservoir storage conditions in an active volcanic arc system, ignimbrites from the Roseau Tuff in Dominica were characterized by geochronology and thermometry. Sixty-five (65) new U-Th ages of zircon rims from ignimbrites spanning the 10-km-long Roseau Valley demonstrate that the deposits represent multiple distinct eruptive events, including a significant Holocene eruption. The zircons from each ignimbrite show a polymodal age distribution. The youngest zircons capture the eruption or near-eruption age (ca. 3 to ca. 60 ka) of each ignimbrite, whereas a significant older, antecrystic zircon population (80–200 ka) is found in most deposits. The zircon age distributions reflect discrete periods of crystallization punctuated by hiatuses of tens of thousands of years, as opposed to continuous or steady zircon crystallization, based on comparison with synthetic data sets and results from mixing models. Iron-titanium (Fe-Ti) oxide thermometry suggests that the magmas were significantly zircon undersaturated upon eruption and therefore a mafic rejuvenation event driving the eruption was short lived (<2500 yr). The discontinuous nature of the zircon age distribution in the ignimbrites contrasts with the more continuous zircon age distributions in lava domes on Dominica, suggesting that explosive eruptions could be a consequence of subsolidus storage conditions and intermittent rheologic lock-up.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
