Emplacing a Cooling-Limited Rhyolite Lava Flow: Similarities with Basaltic Lava Flows [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017 Accurate forecasts of lava flow length rely on estimates of eruption and magma properties and, potentially more challengingly, on an understanding of the relative influence of characteristics such as the apparent viscosity, the yield strength of the flow

Assessing impending hazards from summit eruptions: the new probabilistic map for lava flow inundation at Mt. Etna [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The development of probabilistic maps associated with lava flow inundation is essential to assess hazard in open vent volcanoes, especially those that have highly urbanized flanks.

Oceanic upper crustal accretion by melt sill and lava flow interaction at Axial volcano [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMagmatically-accreted upper crust along mid-ocean ridges is traditionally considered to consist of lava flows overlying a sheeted-dyke complex. However, how the upper crust is formed at hotspot-influenced ridge segments remains unknown.

Local adaptation does not lead to genome‐wide differentiation in lava flow lizards [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Adaptation can occur with or without genome‐wide differentiation. If adaptive loci are linked to traits involved in reproductive isolation, genome‐wide divergence is likely, and speciation is possible.

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Lava effusion in mountainous terrain generates flow backup and excess inundation [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentMost volcanic eruptions occur in high-relief terrains, however the impact of mountainous topography on lava emplacement is poorly constrained. Here we use analogue materials (syrup, glycerol) to investigate lava effusion where changes in channel width ...

Satellite and Ground Remote Sensing Techniques to Trace the Hidden Growth of a Lava Flow Field: The 2014–2015 Effusive Eruption at Fogo Volcano (Cape Verde) [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2018 Fogo volcano erupted in 2014–2015 producing an extensive lava flow field in the summit caldera that destroyed two villages, Portela and Bangaeira.

Lava flow hazard map of Piton de la Fournaise volcano [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 Piton de la Fournaise, situated on La Réunion island (France), is one of the most active hot spot basaltic shield volcanoes worldwide, experiencing at least two eruptions per year since the establishment of the volcanological observatory in 1979 ...

Lava flow hazard at Fogo Volcano, Cabo Verde, before and after the 2014–2015 eruption [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Lava flow simulations help to better understand volcanic hazards and may assist emergency preparedness at active volcanoes. We demonstrate that at Fogo Volcano, Cabo Verde, such simulations can explain the 2014–2015 lava flow crisis and therefore ...
