Videos of Test Blasts in preparation for the NSF Volcano Hazards Field-Scale Experiment Workshop, 2018, Buffalo
15 Jun 2018 | Contributor(s): Ingo Sonder, Greg A Valentine, Andrew Harp
These test blasts were conducted in 2017, in preparation for the 2018 NSF Workshop on Volcano Hazards Field-Scale Experiments.For one event, six PETN charges (0.44 MJ energy each) were placed into prepared test beds ("pads"), made of unconsolidated crushed rock material. Charges...

Volume calculations for Maar- Diatreme Experimental data
15 Aug 2012 | Contributor(s): Manoranjan Majji, Greg A Valentine
Using the partial point clouds obtained from stereoscopic images (point clouds are uploaded as a separate resource), we estimate the volume of the three main explosions using judicious approximations on the geometry of the Maar emulation in each case. University at Buffalo

Maar Diatreme Experiments - 3D point cloud data of three explosions
14 Aug 2012 | Contributor(s): Manoranjan Majji, Greg A Valentine
During the Maar-Diatreme experiments conducted, we were able to extract useful 3D point data after three major explosions.The point set is hereby included for research purposes.In the current form, the data has NOT been aligned with the mean sea level(MSL). However, ROUGH estimates of the datum...
