Explosive submarine eruptions: The role of condensable gas jets in underwater eruptions

RC Cahalan, J Dufek - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
In explosive submarine eruptions, volcanic jets transport fragmented tephra and exsolved
gases from the conduit into the water column. Upon eruption the volcanic jet mixes with …

Deep submarine pyroclastic eruptions: theory and predicted landforms and deposits

JW Head III, L Wilson - Journal of volcanology and geothermal research, 2003 - Elsevier
Submarine pyroclastic eruptions at depths greater than a few hundred meters are generally
considered to be rare or absent because the pressure of the overlying water column is …

Particle transport in subaqueous eruptions: An experimental investigation

A Verolino, JDL White, B Zimanowski - Journal of Volcanology and …, 2018 - Elsevier
Subaqueous volcanic eruptions are natural events common under the world's oceans. Here
we report results from bench-scale underwater explosions that entrain and eject particles …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamics of deep-submarine volcanic eruptions

EL Newland, N Mingotti, AW Woods - Scientific reports, 2022 - nature.com
Deposits from explosive submarine eruptions have been found in the deep sea, 1–4 km

Laboratory experiments on tsunamigenic discrete subaqueous volcanic eruptions. Part 2: Properties of generated waves

Y Shen, CN Whittaker, EM Lane… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Submarine volcanic eruptions have the potential to generate tsunamis, which can cause
destruction well beyond the range of the eruption itself. Here, we present a series of …

The effect of pre‐existing craters on the initial development of explosive volcanic eruptions: An experimental investigation

J Taddeucci, GA Valentine, I Sonder… - Geophysical …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Most volcanic eruptions occur in craters formed by previous activity. The presence of a crater
implies specific confinement geometries, variably filled by loose fragmental deposits, which …

Submarine explosive eruptions

JDL White, CI Schipper, K Kano - The encyclopedia of volcanoes, 2015 - Elsevier
No large submarine explosive eruption has ever been witnessed, yet such eruptions are
known to be fairly common from deposits of ancient seafloors, from tiny eruptions recently …

Waves generated by discrete and sustained gas eruptions with implications for submarine volcanic tsunamis

Y Shen, CN Whittaker, EM Lane… - Geophysical …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Submarine volcanic eruptions can perturb the water surface and subsequently generate
localized tsunamis. Herein waves are produced in analogous laboratory experiments by …

Deep-sea eruptions boosted by induced fuel–coolant explosions

T Dürig, JDL White, AP Murch, B Zimanowski… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
The majority of Earth's volcanic eruptions occur beneath the sea, but the limited number of
direct observations and samples limits our understanding of these unseen events. Subaerial …
