Major slope failures are a significant degradational process at volcanoes. Slope failures and
associated explosive eruptions have resulted in more than 20 000 fatalities in the past 400 …

The decompression rate of magma as it ascends during volcanic eruptions is an important
but poorly constrained parameter that controls many of the processes that influence eruptive …

A base surge, first identified at the Bikini thermonuclear undersea explosion, is a ring-
shaped basal cloud that sweeps outward as a density flow from the base of a vertical …

Comparison of results from a two‐dimensional numerical eruption simulation (KACHINA) to
calculations based upon a shock tube analog supports the conclusion that the …

During the 1979 eruption of the Soufrière of St Vincent, West Indies, a 14 min period of
explosive activity occurred on April 22. The first three minutes of this activity were filmed …

Every now and again Earth experiences tremendous explosive volcanic eruptions,
considerably bigger than the largest witnessed in historic times. Those yielding more than …

Basaltic eruptions are often characterized by cyclic changes of activity. At Hawaii, periods of
continuous fountaining alternate with much longer periods of effusive outflow1, 2. In …

The tephra transport and fallout during the Plinian phase of the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius
has been numerically simulated by using an advection‐diffusion model based on a …

The shapes of typical Hawaiian volcanoes are simply parameterized, and a relationship is
derived for the dependence of lava accumulation rates on volcano volume and volumetric …

Plinian/ignimbrite activity stopped briefly and abruptly 16 and 45 h after commencement of
the 1912 Novarupta eruption defining three episodes of explosive volcanism before finally …
