DOWNFLOW code and LIDAR technology for lava flow analysis and hazard assessment at Mount Etna

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2011
The use of a lava-flow simulation (DOWNFLOW) probabilistic code and airborne light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology are combined to analyze the emplacement of compound lava flow fields at Mount Etna (Sicily, Italy).

A lava attack on the recovery of sums of dense and sparse signals [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Common high-dimensional methods for prediction rely on having either a sparse signal model, a model in which most parameters are zero and there are a small number of non-zero parameters that are large in magnitude, or a dense signal model, a model with no large parameters and very many small non-zero parameters.

Fitosociología y sucesión en el volcán Paricutín (Michoacan, México)

open access: yesCaldasia, 1997
A phytosociologic survey of the current vegetation covering the cone and lava flow of Paricutín Volcano was conducted 44 years after eruption. A cluster analysis of a total of 57 relevés was made using a two-way indicator species algorithm, Twinspan ...

Genesis of primitive Hawaiian rejuvenated-stage lavas: Evidence for carbonatite metasomatism and implications for ancient eclogite source [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
To constrain a contribution of deep carbonated mantle, to fractionation of Hf relative to rare earth elements (REE) in volcanic series, we examine available high-quality data on major, trace element and Nd-Hf isotope compositions of primitive lavas and glasses erupted during preshield, postshield and mostly rejuvenated stage of the Hawaiian hot spot ...

The Bronze Age Tombs of Northwest Arabia: A Chrono‐Typological Study From AlUla and Khaybar, Saudi Arabia

open access: yesArabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Northwest Arabia is marked by tens of thousands of monumental burial structures, most of which appear to have been built during the Bronze Age. These funerary features range from simple cairns and tower tombs through to large ‘pendant’ burials with elaborate tail constructions.

What can lithics tell us about hominin technology's ‘primordial soup’? An origin of stone knapping via the emulation of Mother Nature

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)

Chemical evolution of an evaporating lava pool [PDF]

open access: yes
Many known rocky exoplanets are so highly irradiated that their dayside surfaces are molten, and `silicate atmospheres', composed of rock-forming elements, are generated above these lava pools. The compositions of these `lava planet' atmospheres are of great interest because they must be linked to the composition of the underlying rocky interiors.

Study of Subsurface Structures Northwest of Ascraeus Mons, Mars, Based on Variational Bayesian Monte Carlo

open access: yesIEEE Access
Tharsis Montes is the largest volcanic province on Mars, and Ascraeus Mons in its northeastern part is the largest volcano of the province. The material composition of the lava flows and lava plains to the northwest of Ascraeus Mons is important for the ...

Complex lava tube networks developed within the 1792–93 lava flow field on Mount Etna (Italy): insights for hazard assessment

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Lava tubes are powerful heat insulators, allowing lava to practically keep the initial temperature and travel longer distances than when freely flowing on the ground surface.

The genesis of a lava cave in the Deccan Volcanic Province (Maharashtra, India)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Speleology, 2016
Lava tubes and channels forming lava distributaries have been recognized from different parts of western Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP). Openings of smaller dimension have been documented from the pāhoehoe flows around Pune, in the western DVP.
