Tephra segregation profiles based on disdrometer observations and tephra dispersal modeling: Vulcanian eruptions of Sakurajima volcano, Japan [PDF]
The profile of tephra concentration along a volcanic plume (i.e., the tephra segregation profile) is an important source parameter for the simulation of tephra transport and deposition and thus for the tephra sedimentation load.

The summer 2019 basaltic Vulcanian eruptions (paroxysms) of Stromboli [PDF]
AbstractStromboli is an active, open conduit mafic volcano, whose persistent mild Strombolian activity is occasionally punctuated by much stronger explosions, known as paroxysms. During summer 2019, the volcano unexpectedly produced one such paroxysm on July 3, followed by intense explosive and intermittent effusive activity culminating in a second ...

Infrasonic precursors to a Vulcanian Eruption at Sakurajima Volcano, Japan [PDF]
The May 1998 eruption sequence of Sakurajima Volcano was monitored by ten infrasonic stations, ten seismometers, and a video camera. During this seismo‐acoustic experiment, we recorded hundreds of infrasonic tremor and long‐period events associated with seismic signals, and observed a progression from relative quiescence to a Vulcanian eruption.

Vulcanian eruption mechanisms [PDF]
Application of a newly developed theory to volcanological observations of explosive eruptions shows that previous estimates of pre-explosion gas pressures may be overestimated by an order of magnitude.

Isomass and Probability Maps of Ash Fallout Due to Vulcanian Eruptions at Tungurahua Volcano (Ecuador) Deduced from Historical Forecasting [PDF]
Since April of 2015, the ash dispersion and ash fallout due to Vulcanian eruptions at Tungurahua, one of the most active volcanoes in Ecuador, have been forecasted daily.

Vulcanian eruptions at Sakurajima Volcano: geophysical data, numerical modelling, and petrological evidence [PDF]
AbstractWe investigated the magma conduit system beneath three active craters that have repeatedly generated Vulcanian eruptions at Sakurajima Volcano, Japan, by analysing seismic, infrasound, and tilt data. The hypocentres of the earthquakes associated with the Vulcanian eruptions are distributed separately at shallow depths of approximately 0.5 km ...

Pressurization processes of magmas in a shallow conduit to cause vulcanian eruption
Vulcanian eruptions are relatively frequent eruptive phenomena in island arc volcanism. The high frequency provides us many opportunities to observe the eruptive behavior and to sample the erupted materials. Vulcanian activity of the Sakurajima volcano located at southern Kyushu in Japan has continued since 1955 and been precisely monitored by ...

Modeling Volcanic Eruption Parameters by Near-Source Internal Gravity Waves. [PDF]
Volcanic explosions release large amounts of hot gas and ash into the atmosphere to form plumes rising several kilometers above eruptive vents, which can pose serious risk on human health and aviation also at several thousands of kilometers from the ...

Tungurahua volcano, located in the central area of the Ecuadorian Sierra, is erupting intermittently since 1999 alternating between periods of quiescence and explosive activity. Volcanic ash has been the most frequent and widespread hazard provoking air contamination episodes and impacts on human health, animals and crops in the surrounding area. After

The Sf. Ana crater is the young volcanic crater of the dacitic Ciomadul volcano located at the SE end of the Călimani-Gurghiu-Harghita volcanic chain in the Eastern Carpathians. The crater was formed at ~60-30 kyr-s ago probably by several eruptions.
