Maar-diatremes - a course module

13 Jun 2016 | Contributor(s): Greg A Valentine, Alison Graettinger

Maar-diatremes are one of the most common volcanic landforms on Earth, and represent an end-member type of volcano whose eruptions are dominated by explosive, subsurface magma-water interaction.  Thus they should form an important component of volcanology courses.  The recent decade has...

The lecture summarizes the situation at Pacaya, and uses Matias' map as...

Mass Balance and Velocity Data for Greenland Ice Sheet at High Elevations

17 Sep 2021 | *Data Sets/Collections | Contributor(s): Beata Maria Csatho, Ash Narkevic, Ivan Parmuzin

This is an estimation of mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet at higher elevations, computed as the difference between the estimated annual total snow accumulation and ice discharge. Measurements are taken at 161 stations located 30 km apart, at 2000 m elevation that circumnavigates Greenland....

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...

Regression on Ice: Function approximation for the mathematically-inclined glaciologist

17 Sep 2023 | Educational Materials | Contributor(s): Noah J Bergam

Modern satellite-based analysis of the ice sheets presents a profound statistical-geometric problem: how do we make sense of scattered, noisy measurements of vast, steadily evolving surfaces like the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets? In these lecture notes, I attempt to provide the...
