N2 - Pululahua is a potentially active dome complex located 15 km north of Quito. It is composed of sixteen dacitic-andesitic lava domes located inside and around a semi-rectangular depression. We divide its eruptive history into: (1) a first member characterized by effusive lava dome growth and collapse (Units I and II, >18–12 ka), (2) a second member consisting of at least four explosive eruptive phases (VEI ~4), responsible for the formation of a caldera-like depression (Unit III, 2.6–2.3 ka cal BP), and (3) a final member encompassing partially explosive dome growth inside the depression (Unit IV, 2.2 ka cal BP). Rock samples show no significant geochemical changes over time, except for a slight decrease in SiO2 and a minor increase in MgO and Fe2O3 towards younger magmas.
