Multidisciplinary constraints of hydrothermal explosions based on the 2013 Gengissig lake events, Kverkfjöll volcano, Iceland
29 Dec 2015 | Contributor(s): Cristian Montanaro
Hydrothermal explosions frequently occur in geothermal areas showing various mechanisms and energies of explosivity. Their deposits, though generally hardly recognised or badly preserved, provide important insights to quantify the dynamics and energy of these poorly understood explosive events....

Magma mixing dynamics and associated geophysical signals
08 Oct 2015 | Contributor(s): Chiara Paola Montagna, Antonella Longo, Paolo Papale, Matteo Bagagli
Primitive, volatile-rich magma arrival from depth into a degassed, evolved reservoir at 3km depth is investigated. The two magmatic end-member mix very efficiently on time scales of hours. The evolution is characterized by very heterogeneous pressure variations in space and time, showing...

VUELCO deliverable 7.5: Guidelines for the best practice of scientific management of volcanic unrest
09 Sep 2015 | Contributor(s): dmitri rouwet
Volcanic eruption forecasting and hazard assessment are multi-disciplinary processes with scientific and social implications. Our limited knowledge and the randomness of the processes behind a volcanic eruption yields the need of quantifying uncertainties on volcano dynamics. With deterministic...

Towards the reconstruction of the shallow plumbing system of the Barombi Mbo Maar (Cameroon) Implications for diatreme growth processes of a polygenetic maar volcano
30 Aug 2015 | Contributor(s): CHAKO TCHAMABE Boris, Takeshi Ohba, Gabor Kereszturi, Karoly Nemeth, Aka Festus Tongwa, Dieudone Youmen, Isabel Meza, Yasuo Miyabuchi, Seigo Ooki, Greg Zinkeng Tanyileke, Hell Joseph Victor
Understanding the mechanisms involved in the formation of maars and their diatreme growth processes has been a subject of contention. While there is no direct evidence of the presence of diatremes beneath most of the young maars, their existence is inferred based on the amount and type of country...
