The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

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 ...

On the Thermal Budget of Pahoehoe Lava Flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
In this thesis I investigate some aspects of the thermal budget of pahoehoe lava flows. This is done with a combination of general field observations, quantitative modeling, and specific field experiments.

The influence of surface clinker on the crustal structures and dynamics of 'a'ā lava flows. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Surface structures on 'a'ā and blocky lavas reflect the internal flow dynamics during emplacement and also influence the dynamics of developing flows.

Lava dome growth and mass wasting measured by a time series of ground-based radar and seismicity observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Exogenous growth of Peléean lava domes involves the addition of lava from a central summit vent and mass wasting on the flanks as rockfalls and pyroclastic flows.

Icelandic analogs to Martian flood lavas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We report on new field observations from Icelandic lava flows that have the same surface morphology as many Martian flood lava flows. The Martian flood lavas are characterized by a platy-ridged surface morphology whose formation is not well understood ...

Lava production at Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat: 1995-2009 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
[1] We estimate that about 1 km3 of andesitic lava has been produced at Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat from 1995 to 2009. There were three major episodes of extrusion, each lasting about 2 to 3.5 years and producing about 280 to 340 M m3 of lava ...

Terrestrial analogs and thermal models for Martian flood lavas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The recent flood lavas on Mars appear to have a characteristic “platy-ridged” surface morphology different from that inferred for most terrestrial continental flood basalt flows.

Geologic history of the summit of Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2013
Multibeam (1 m resolution) and side scan data collected from an autonomous underwater vehicle, and lava samples, radiocarbon‐dated sediment cores, and observations of flow contacts collected by remotely operated vehicle were combined to reconstruct the ...

Benchmarking computational fluid dynamics models of lava flow simulation for hazard assessment, forecasting, and risk management

open access: yesJournal of Applied Volcanology, 2017
Numerical simulations of lava flow emplacement are valuable for assessing lava flow hazards, forecasting active flows, designing flow mitigation measures, interpreting past eruptions, and understanding the controls on lava flow behavior.
