  • The eruptive chronology of the Carihuairazo volcano (Ecuador): Recurrent sector collapses of a Middle Pleistocene stratovolcano of the northern Andes, 2022, Journal of South American Earth Sciences
  • Effects of crustal assimilation on 238U-230Th disequilibria in continental arc settings, 2023, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta

Frequent collaborations were maintained with several researchers, including Silvana Hidalgo, Patricia Mothes, Pablo Samaniego, Patricio Ramón, and Benjamin Bernard. These collaborations resulted in multiple publications throughout Hall's career.

The scientist published their work across various peer-reviewed venues, including:

  • Bulletin of Volcanology
  • Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta
  • Journal of South American Earth Sciences

Minard L. Hall's interdisciplinary work connected geological and tectonic studies with geochemical and computational methodologies. Their contributions have provided data on volcanic hazards, the eruptive history of stratovolcanoes, and crustal assimilation processes in continental arc settings.
