HYDROLOGICAL AND STABILITY MODELLING OF INITIAL LANDSLIDES TRIGGERING DEBRIS FLOWS IN ASH-FALL DEPOSITS COVERING HILLSLOPES SURROUNDING SOMMA-VESUVIUS (SOUTHERN ITALY).

open access: yes, 2010
Rainfall-induced debris flows involving ash-fall pyroclastic deposits covering steep mountain slopes that surround the Somma-Vesuvius volcano, are natural events representing the main cause of risk for urban settlements located at footslopes.

Computer simulations of pyroclastic flows from dome collapse

open access: yes, 1998
We present a method of simulating both the avalanche and surge components of pyroclastic flows generated by lava collapsing from a growing Pelean dome.

Tracking a Rangeland Fire With Infrasound Arrays

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract We present the first infrasound analyses of a rangeland fire and demonstrate infrasound's potential in monitoring wildland fires. We recorded a prescribed fire in sagebrush steppe in cool, moist conditions, using eight infrasound arrays of diverse size (3–44 sensors, 10–200 m width) and distance (0–20 km), including four arrays inside the burn

Generation of pyroclastic flows by explosive interaction of lava flows with ice/water-saturated substrate

open access: yes, 2011
We describe a new type of secondary rootless phreatomagmatic explosions observed at active lava flows at volcanoes Klyuchevskoy (Russia) and Etna (Italy).

Timing, origin and emplacement dynamics of mass flows offshore of SE Montserrat in the last 110 ka: implications for landslide and tsunami hazards, eruption history, and volcanic island evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Mass flows on volcanic islands generated by volcanic lava dome collapse and by larger volume flank collapse, can be highly dangerous locally and may generate tsunamis that threaten a wider area.

Geology and Chronology of the Lunar Taruntius Crater: Implications for the Retention Age of Lunar Ray Patterns and Lifetime of Lunar Explosive Volcanism

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Taruntius crater, situated between Maria Fecunditatis, Crisium, and Tranquillitatis, is characterized by a prominent bright ray system and a floor‐fractured morphology and has long been interpreted as a relatively young Eratosthenian or Copernican crater.

An Isotope‐Based Snapshot Reveals the Combined Influence of High‐Elevation Recharge and Local Return Flows on Groundwater Across Guatemala City

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Representation (not to scale) of potential high elevation recharge and low elevation return flows within the Guatemala City metropolitan area. ABSTRACT Guatemala City is the most populous urban center in Central America. In this urban center, groundwater extraction within the last 40 years has substantially declined water table levels and accelerated ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Radon concentration anomalies as possible precursors to pyroclastic flow events of Arenal volcano [PDF]

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 2002
Radon measurements were made at five stations located on Arenal volcano’s cone, Costa Rica, using LR-115 detectors. The radon measuring stations were located on the active cone and one station was located directly over a hotspring. Radon flux anomalies

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...
