  6. Timescales of dyke widening and draining during an eruption at Red Crater, New Zealand (COV 7, 2012)

    20 Mar 2013 | Presentations | Contributor(s): Fabian Ben Wadsworth

    Near-surface basaltic dykes may become unstable when buoyancy and overpressure are not maintained and solidification not fully accomplished. Additionally temporal variation of the dyke geometry such as widening may further compromise stability and induce draining. A 5-10 m wide, variably dipping...

  7. Timescales of mingling in shallow magmatic reservoirs

    12 Jun 2015 | Publications | Contributor(s): Chiara Paola Montagna, paolo papale, antonella longo

    Arrival of magma from depth into shallow reservoirs has been documented as one of thepossible processes leading to eruption. Magma intruding and rising to the surface interacts with thealready emplaced, degassed magmas residing at shallower depths, leaving chemical signatures inthe erupted...

    NOTE The code is now maintained on GitHub: https://github.com/e5k/TOTGS Follow updates on: https://e5k.github.io/  Quantifying the total grainsize distribution (TGSD) is a necessary step to achieve a thorough characterization of a given tephra deposit. Several methods exist to...

  18. Towards a probabilistic scheme: How can we recognize and track non-magmatic unrest and related hazards?

    18 Feb 2014 | Publications | Contributor(s): dmitri rouwet, Laura Sandri, Warner Marzocchi, Jo Gottsmann

    Eruption forecasting is a major goal in volcanology. The intrinsic complexity and non-linearity of volcanic systems has recently led to an intertwining of deterministic to probabilistic eruption forecasting methods. However, many volcanoes often pass states of non-eruptive and non-magmatic unrest...

  19. 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 | Publications | 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...
