  2. Spread sheet to calculate tephra volume for exponential thinning

    03 Dec 2014 | Offline Tools | Contributor(s): Manuel Nathenson, Judy Fierstein

    An Excel spread sheet and instructions are provided to calculate tephra volume for exponential thinning on a log(thickness) versus square root of area plot. The spread sheet calculates volumes for a single straight line and for two straight lines. The equations for the calculations are from...

  3. Tephra 2014 - Maximizing the potential of tephra for multidisciplinary science

    09 Jan 2014 | Workshops | Contributor(s): Steven Kuehn, Solene Pouget, Marcus I Bursik

    Tephra deposits are used by diverse communities: volcanologists, petrologists, tephrochronologists, paleoclimatologists, paleoecologists and archaeologists. To perhaps be too reductionist, volcanologists are generally interested in tephra to understand eruption behavior, frequency, and hazards;...

  9. Tephra inversion with Tephra2 and the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm

    21 Jun 2020 | Offline Tools | Contributor(s): Qingyuan Yang, E Bruce Pitman, Marcus I Bursik, Susanna Jenkins

    We couple the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm (Hastings, 1970) with the volcanic ash transport model Tephra2 (Bonadonna et al, 2005; 2010), and present the coupled algorithm as a new method to estimate the Eruption Source Parameters (ESPs) of volcanic eruptions based on mass per unit area...

  10. Tephra isopach, extent and volume calculation in R

    04 Mar 2016 | Offline Tools | Contributor(s): Qingyuan Yang, Marcus I Bursik

    The method presented here is used to interpolate the thickness distribution of tephra fall deposits from point measurements. It first reconstructs the general thickness decay pattern, or "trend," and then models the residuals that cannot be explained by the trend with...
