A mineralogical study of this ignimbrite indicates important disequilibrium features. Resoption textures were observed around Ca-rich (An(74-92); Group 1) and more sodic (An(35-44); Group 2) plagioclase phenocryst cores. Rims on these phenocrysts as well as microlites grew with an intermediate composition (An(47-63); Group 3). Low- and high-Mg clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene phenocrysts were also identified; most of them showing reverse Mg zoning. Based on these mineralogical data and thermodynamic modeling, an increase of about 200 degrees C in temperature (from similar to 900-1000 degrees to similar to 1100-1150 degrees C), a decompression of similar to 400 bar (equivalent to similar to 1.5 km) and a decrease in H2O content in the melt of similar to 1.6 wt.% are identified during crystallization. Addition of hot magma from below would have caused heating of the reservoir with the consecutive ascent of magma pulses, H2O exsolution and convective mixing (compositional and/or thermal mixing). A numerical model using the Finite Element Method was developed to assess the response of the Lican Ignimbrite reservoir upon conductive heating by 200 degrees C by mafic underplating; this model indicates a rapid (tens of years) temperature homogenization of this system, with ascending magma plumes with velocities as high as 6 m/h. Because the Lican Ignimbrite erupted at the end of the Pleistocene glaciation, glacial unloading could have also contributed to depressurization of the reservoir. 066 UR163 Chili
