Pyroclastic density currents and local topography as seen with the conveyer model

15 Apr 2014 | Contributor(s): Domenico M. Doronzo

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are multiphase flows generated during explosive volcanic eruptions, and they move down the volcano, and over the surrounding topography. The flow-topography interaction can play a fundamental role in the sedimentary processes, and in the resulting deposit...

Estimating Volcanic Risk in the Lesser Antilles

26 Sep 2013 | Contributor(s): Michal Camejo, Richard E.A. Robertson

The potential catastrophic effects of future volcanic eruptions in the Lesser Antilles can be decreased by the utilisation of effective risk quantification measures and their subsequent incorporation into disaster risk reduction strategies. A volcanic risk study conducted by the Norwegian...
