Unsteady high-pressure flow experiments with applications to explosive volcanic eruptions [PDF]
Motivated by the hypothesis that volcanic blasts can have supersonic regions, we investigate the role of unsteady flow in jets from a high-pressure finite reservoir.

Vulcanian activity is one of the most common eruption styles of arc andesitic volcanism on Earth. It ejects and deposits volcanic bombs around the source crater.

Ballistic ejecta and eruption condition of the vulcanian explosion of Shinmoedake volcano, Kyushu, Japan on 1 February, 2011 [PDF]
The physical condition of the 1 February, 2011, vulcanian explosion at Shinmoedake volcano, Japan, is estimated based on the size of impact craters created by ballistic ejecta, using a ballistic trajectory model and a scaling law for impact crater formation.

High level sill and dyke intrusions initiated from rapidly buried mafic lava flows in scoria cones of Tongoa, Vanuatu (New Hebrides), South Pacific [PDF]
Scoria cones are generally considered to grow rapidly in days to weeks or months. During their growth lava flows may be fed onto the cone surface from lava-lake breaches, or form by coalescence of spatter; such flows are preserved interbedded with scoria

Mapping the susceptibility of rain-triggered lahars at Vulcano island (Italy) combining field characterization, geotechnical analysis, and numerical modelling [PDF]
The characterization of triggering dynamics and remobilized volumes is crucial to the assessment of associated lahar hazards. We propose an innovative treatment of the cascading effect between tephra fallout and lahar hazards based on probabilistic ...

Characterization of moderate ash-and-gas explosions at Santiaguito volcano, Guatemala, from infrasound waveform inversion and thermal infrared measurements [PDF]
The rapid discharge of gas and rock fragments during volcanic eruptions generates acoustic infrasound. Here we present results from the inversion of infrasound signals associated with small and moderate gas‐and‐ash explosions at Santiaguito volcano ...

Identification of structural controls in an active lava dome with high resolution DEMs:Volcán de Colima, Mexico [PDF]
Monitoring the topography of active lava domes is critical for detecting changes that may trigger or influence collapse or explosive activity. Internal dome structure and conditions are more difficult to elucidate, but also play vital roles.

The ash-fall hazard from a Plinian eruption at Colima Volcano, Mexico
The historical eruptive activity at Colima Volcano has been characterized by Strombolian and Merapi type eruptions and Vulcanian explosions associated with dome growth, which have ended in a Plinian eruption about every 100 years.
