Workshop on the Impacts associated with the primary fallout of volcanic ash and subsequent aeolian remobilisation, Consensual Document

19 May 2020 | Publications | Contributor(s): Lucia Dominguez, Costanza Bonadonna, Donaldo Bran

The inherent complexity associated with volcanic eruptions and their relationship with societies requires innovative strategies about how we assess and manage risk. The 2011 Cordón Caulle eruption (2011-CC) demonstrated the additional complexity associated with secondary hazards and...

Workshop on Wind-remobilisation processes of volcanic ash, Consensual Document

20 Feb 2020 | Publications | Contributor(s): Costanza Bonadonna, Paul A Jarvis, Lucia Dominguez, Corine Frischknecht, Pablo Forte, Donaldo Bran, Rigoberto Aguilar, Frances Beckett, Manuela Elissondo, Jack Gillies, ulrich kueppers, Jonathan Merrison, Nick Varley, Kristi L Wallace

Explosive volcanic eruptions can eject large quantities of tephra into the atmosphere that can be dispersed and deposited over wide areas. Whilst the hazardous consequences of primary tephra fallout are well known, subsequent remobilisation of ash by aeolian processes can continue to present an...

PYFLOW_2.0. A new tool for estimating the impact parameters and the deposition rate and time of dilute PDCs based on field data

22 Nov 2017 | Offline Tools | Contributor(s): Fabio Dioguardi, Daniela Mele, Pierfrancesco Dellino

PYFLOW_2.0 is a hazard tool for the calculation of the impact parameters of dilute pyroclastic density currents (DPDCs). DPDCs represent the dilute turbulent type of gravity flows that occur during explosive volcanic eruptions; their hazard is the result of their mobility and the capability...

Confort 15 (Conflow improvement)

22 Apr 2016 | Offline Tools | Contributor(s): Silvia Campagnola, Claudia Romano, Larry G Mastin, Alessandro Vona

We present an updated version of the Conflow model, an open-source numerical model for flow in eruptive conduits during steady-state pyroclastic eruptions (Mastin and Ghiorso, 2000). In the Confort 15 program, several updates were considered:The rheological parameters of the model are...

Underwater volcano disaster - an Oxford Sparks Animation

18 Feb 2014 | Workshops | Contributor(s): Costanza Bonadonna, Peter W Webley, Matthew Craig Hort, Arnau Folch, Sue C Loughlin, Herbert Puempel

An international expert community of volcano observatories, academic scientists, volcanic ash advisory centres and representatives of aviation regulators, engine manufacturers and airlines met in Geneva on 18-20 November 2013 to discuss progress on ash dispersal forecasting and produce a roadmap...

Eruption data for ash-cloud model validation

04 Apr 2013 | *Data Sets/Collections | Contributor(s): Larry Garver Mastin, Costanza Bonadonna, Arnau Folch, peter webley, barbara stunder, Michael Pavolonis

This is a collection of data, references, and links to data on well-documented eruptions whose observations can be used to validate ash-cloud transport models. Data include, among other things, plume height, duration, erupted volume, satellite observations, numerical wind fields, and grain-size...
