Forum on the “Assessment of volcanic ash threat: learning and considerations from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption”
17 Jun 2010 | Contributor(s): Arnau Folch
The April-May 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption has had a tremendous unprecedented impact on civil aviation in Europe and beyond resulting in millions of Euros in economic loss and large social impact, especially during the 14-20 April week. The Organizing Committee of the COV6 meeting, held in...

Fall3d-7.1
15 Feb 2016 | Contributor(s): Arnau Folch, Antonio Costa, Giovanni Macedonio
FALL3D (version 7.1) is a 3-D time-dependent Eulerian model for the transport and deposition of tephra developed in the framework of a collaboration between INGV and Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). The model solves a set of advection-diffusion-sedimentation (ADS) equations on a structured...
