Computer simulations of lava flow paths in the town of Goma, Nyiragongo volcano, Democratic Republic of Congo

open access: yes, 2006
The 17 January 2002 fissure eruption of Mount Nyiragongo, Democratic Republic of Congo, produced lava flows which entered and devastated the densely inhabited town of Goma.

Cooling of a channeled lava flow with non-Newtonian rheology: crust formation and surface radiance

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2011
We present here the results from dynamical and thermal models that describe a channeled lava flow as it cools by radiation. In particular, the effects of power-law rheology and of the presence of bends in the flow are considered, as well as the formation

Lunar Mare Lava Flow Dynamics and Emplacement: Predictions of Non-Newtonian Flow Dynamics, Syn- and Post-emplacement Cooling and Volatile Release Patterns, and Vertical and Lateral Flow Structure Development

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We apply basic principles of magma ascent from deep source regions and its eruption into a low-gravity vacuum environment to develop a theoretical treatment of the fluid dynamics and thermodynamics of mare basalt lava flow emplacement and evolution on ...

Morphological complexities and hazards during the emplacement of channel-fed `a`ā lava flow fields : a study of the 2001 lower flow field on Etna

open access: yes, 2010
Long-lived basaltic eruptions often produce structurally complex, compound `a`ā flow fields. Here we reconstruct the development of a compound flow field emplaced during the 2001 eruption of Mt. Etna (Italy). Following an initial phase of cooling-limited

Lava flow hazards—An impending threat at Miyakejima volcano, Japan

open access: yes, 2015
The majority of the historic eruptions recorded at Miyakejima volcano were fissure eruptions that occurred on the flanks of the volcano. During the last 1100 years, 17 fissure eruptions have been reported with a mean interval of about 76–78 years.

The morphology and evolution of the Stromboli 2002–2003 lava flow field: an example of a basaltic flow field emplaced on a steep slope

open access: yes, 2007
The use of a hand-held thermal camera during the 2002–2003 Stromboli effusive eruption proved essential in tracking the development of flow field structures and in measuring related eruption parameters, such as the number of active vents and flow ...

Monitoring Lava Flows

open access: yes
During a volcanic effusive crisis, the active lava flow(s) need(s) to be monitored to best anticipate the possible affected area. A number of measurements needs to be made on site either from ground or from the air and by satellite imagery. These measurements need to be made through established protocols so derivative parameters can be calculated and ...

Lava flow hazard modeling during the 2014–2015 Fogo eruption, Cape Verde

open access: yes, 2016
Satellite remote sensing techniques and lava flow forecasting models have been combined to enable a rapid response during effusive crises at poorly monitored volcanoes. Here we used the HOTSAT satellite thermal monitoring system and the MAGFLOW lava flow
