Proceedings of a workshop on Lunar Volcanic Glasses: Scientific and Resource Potential [PDF]
This workshop on lunar mare volcanism was the first since 1975 to deal with the major scientific advances that have occurred in this general subject, and the first ever to deal specifically with volcanic glasses.

Abstract Grande Comore, the westernmost island within the Madagascar Comoros Volcanic (MCV) chain, hosts two juxtaposed basaltic volcanoes, Karthala and La Grille, with contrasting lava geochemical signatures and eruption frequencies. Their formation and dynamics have been explained either by a mantle plume or, more recently, as part of a ...

Slab Gap‐Related Intraplate Magmatism as a Proxy of Maximum Flat Slab Extent in Patagonia
Abstract Establishing the frontal extent of ancient flat subduction events from the geologic record can be challenging. This difficulty arises because magmatic activity in the arc typically ceases during complete slab flattening, and other meaningful proxies are usually absent. To address this issue, we examine early Paleocene intraplate magmatic units

Abstract Characteristic remanent magnetizations isolated from the late Variscan Altenberg–Teplice Caldera exhibit paleomagnetic directions, ranging from those consistent with the expected primary Late Carboniferous geomagnetic field to intermediate directions that significantly diverge from the dipole states.

Modeling the Deformation Response to Mt. Etna Sliding Flank
Abstract The southeastern flank of Mt. Etna volcano slides into the Ionian Sea at rates of centimeters per year. While gravitational spreading and tectonic forces can cause volcanic flank collapse, their effects intrinsically trade off with magmatic forcing. There is still strong uncertainty regarding the processes underlying the sliding.

Lahar events in the last 2000 years from Vesuvius eruptions – Part 1: Distribution and impact on densely inhabited territory estimated from field data analysis [PDF]
Lahars represent some of the most dangerous phenomena in volcanic areas for their destructive power, causing dramatic changes in the landscape with no premonitory signs and impacting the population and infrastructure.

Behaviour of chemical elements during weathering of pyroclastic rocks, Hong Kong
The behaviour of whole-rock major, trace and rare earth elements (REE) during weathering under subtropical conditions is examined along a profile developed over crystal--vitric tuffs with eutaxitic texture. The intensity of weathering within the profile varies erratically, indicating weathering processes operate over different scales.

Physical Modeling of Subaerial Granular Landslide‐Induced Tsunami Waves
Abstract Investigating tsunamigenic landslides via physical experiments is important to increase the understanding of these often devastating events for improving disaster prevention. Landslide masses often consist of granular material, which usually is characterized by non‐uniform grain size distributions, irregular shape and pronounced surface ...
