    29 Nov 2015 | Contributor(s): Sally H. Potter, Gill E. Jolly, Vince E. Neall, David M. Johnston, Bradley J. Scott

    The communication of scientific information to stakeholders is a critical component of an effective Volcano EarlyWarning System. Volcanic Alert Level (VAL) systems are used in many countries as a tool within early warning systemsto communicate complex volcanic information in a simple form, from...

  8. 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...

  9. 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...

  10. 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...
