Conduit processes during the February 11, 2010 Vulcanian eruption of Soufrière Hills, Montserrat
Abstract We analyzed pumice from the February 11, 2010 Vulcanian explosion that immediately followed a large dome collapse at Soufriere Hills volcano. We obtained pre-explosive values of porosity, pressure, and depth by combining textural analyses and glass water content determinations.

Diverse Eruptive Activity Revealed by Acoustic and Electromagnetic Observations of the 14 July 2013 Intense Vulcanian Eruption of Tungurahua Volcano, Ecuador [PDF]
AbstractDuring the powerful July 2013 eruption of Tungurahua volcano, Ecuador, we recorded exceptionally high amplitude, long‐period infrasound (1,600‐Pa peak‐to‐peak amplitude, 5.5‐s period) on sensors within 2 km of the vent alongside electromagnetic signals from volcanic lightning serendipitously captured as interference.

Stromboli is a unique open-conduit mafic volcano known for persistent Strombolian eruptions of highly porphyritic (HP) basalticshoshonite scoria. Stronger paroxysmal explosions occur once or twice per decade, ejecting low porphyritic (LP) golden pumice ...

Composition of volcanic gases emitted during repeating Vulcanian eruption stage of Shinmoedake, Kirishima volcano, Japan [PDF]
Volcanic gas compositions of Shinmoedake, Kirishima volcano, Japan were measured by Multi-GAS during the persistent degassing period with repeating Vulcanian eruptions from March 2011 to March 2012. In order to avoid risks due to eruptions, the measurements were performed with the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) that fly through the plume with the Multi-

Source mechanism of Vulcanian eruption at Tungurahua Volcano, Ecuador, derived from seismic moment tensor inversions [PDF]
Source mechanisms of explosive volcanic eruptions are critical for understanding magmatic plumbing systems and magma transport. Tungurahua is a large andesitic stratovolcano where seismoacoustic data has been recorded over several years. In May 2010, an energetic eruption cycle began with a midsize Vulcanian explosion followed by swarms of explosive ...

Dual Infrasound Sources from a Vulcanian Eruption of Sakurajima Volcano Inferred from Cross-Array Observation [PDF]
The study of volcano infrasound is becoming increasingly popular (Johnson and Ripepe, 2011; Fee and Matoza, 2013) with analysis of the recorded signals contributing to our understanding of eruption dynamics and enhancing capabilities in remote monitoring of volcanoes. Multiple studies have determined the source locations of the infrasound from volcanic

Combining Visible‐ and Infrared‐Wavelength Observations With Numerical Modeling to Describe Vulcanian Eruption Plumes at Sabancaya, Peru [PDF]
Sabancaya volcano (Peru), is a stratovolcano in the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes. Since November 2016, it has been in constant activity, marked by daily multiple Vulcanian explosions. In this contribution, we first characterize the plumes generated

Vulcanian explosions are hazardous and are often spontaneous and direct observations are therefore challenging. Ebeko is an active volcano on Paramushir Island, northern Kuril Islands, showing characteristic Vulcanian-type activity. In 2019, we started a

Volcanic Eruption Forecasts From Accelerating Rates of Drumbeat Long‐Period Earthquakes [PDF]
Accelerating rates of quasiperiodic “drumbeat” long‐period earthquakes (LPs) are commonly reported before eruptions at andesite and dacite volcanoes, and promise insights into the nature of fundamental preeruptive processes and improved eruption ...
