These observations provide a conceptual framework for better anticipating monogenetic eruptions
in similar settings and
magmatic fluxes and should lead to improved strategies for mitigation of their associated hazards and risks.

For 250 million years between Year 2.16 and 2.26 billion, however, volcanic activity appears to have subsided
in a «global
magmatic lull» so that comparatively little carbon dioxide was released into the atmosphere through volcanoes (Condie et al, 2009; and David Shiga, New Scientist, May 9, 2009).

in situ age of 289 ± 3 Ma), that developed
in a shallow lithospheric rift with significant mingling between crustal melts and mafic magmas.
