Electrical conductivity of the following molten silicate systems (in mol%): 60SiO 2 -40Na 2 O; 65SiO 2 -35Na 2 O; 75SiO 2 -25Na 2 O; 78SiO 2 -22Na 2 O; 72SiO 2 -24Na 2 O-4CaO; 66SiO 2 -19Na 2 O-15H 2 O; and an anhydrous and hydrous (4 wt% H 2 O) Mt. Erebus lava, have been measured as a function of temperature (to 1000°C) and pressure (to 1.3 kbar). The anhydrous soda-rich melts have a positive pressure coefficient of conductivity to ~200 bars and beyond this pressure the pressure coefficient is small and negative. Addition of water lowers the conductivity and gives rise to a negative pressure coefficient at the highest temperatures. The conductivity of hydrous Mt. Erebus lava passed through a maximum with increasing temperature at constant pressure. These phenomena are interpreted in terms of explanations of similar phenomena found in molten salt and aqueous electrolyte solutions.
