Activity Report of the Commission on Monogenetic Volcanism to IAVCEI 2011
27 Jul 2011 | Contributor(s): Karoly Nemeth
The term monogenetic as applied to volcanic systems carries with it the concept of eruptions of batches of magma within short timescales. Monogenetic volcanism is commonly expressed as clusters of individual volcanoes forming fields of small cones which are a consequence of dispersed plumbing...

Direct sampling of volcanic clouds
08 Feb 2011 | Presentations | Contributor(s): William I Rose
Volcanic clouds have only sporadically been directly sampled. Sampling is advantageous to validate remote sensing. Direct sampling was more common in the 1978-1984 period before the hazards to jet aircraft were understood and when piston aircraft sampling was more prevalent. This sampling...
