Numerical simulation of tsunami generation by cold volcanic mass flows at Augustine Volcano, Alaska [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2006 Many of the world's active volcanoes are situated on or near coastlines. During eruptions, diverse geophysical mass flows, including pyroclastic flows, debris avalanches, and lahars, can deliver large volumes of unconsolidated debris to the ocean in a ...

ACTIVITY AND Vp/Vs RATIO OF VOLCANO-TECTONIC SEISMIC SWARM ZONES AT NEVADO DEL RUIZ VOLCANO, COLOMBIA [PDF]
Earth Sciences Research Journal, 2010 An analysis of the seismic activity for volcano-tectonic earthquake (VT) swarms zones at Nevado del Ruiz Volcano (NRV) was carried out for the interval 1985- 2002, which is the most seismic active period at NRV until now (2010). The swarm-like seismicity

Use of a portable topographic mapping millimetre wave radar at an active lava flow. [PDF]
, 2006 A ground-based millimetre wave radar, AVTIS (All-weather Volcano Topography Imaging Sensor), has been developed for topographic monitoring. The instrument is portable and capable of measurements over ranges up to ∼7 km through cloud and at night.

Contributing factors to the failure of an unusually large landslide triggered by the 2014 Ludian, Yunnan, China, Ms = 6.5 earthquake [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 The 3 August 2014 Ludian, China, Ms = 6.5 earthquake caused many large landslides. The biggest occurred at Hongshiyan near the epicenter, had a volume of 1.0 × 107 m3 and dammed the Niulanjiang River, creating a large lake.
