Lava flows are gravity currents of partially molten rock that cool as they flow, in some cases
melting the surface over which they flow but in all cases gradually solidifying until they come …

The silicate planets and satellites display a wide range of physical, chemical and
atmospheric characteristics which may influence the nature of volcanism, a major geological …

One of our aims in the book is to provide geologists with a sound basis for making their own
well founded interpretations. For that reason we cover not only concepts about processes …

Relates the physical and geometric elegance of geologic structures within the Earth's crust
and the ways in which these structures reflect the nature and origin of crystal deformation …

Water is essential for the formation of granite and granite, in turn, is essential for the
formation of continents. Earth, the only inner planet with abundant water, is the only planet …

This second part of a review deals with the mechanisms of rock glacier formation and flow.
The presence of a copious debris supply is important in all models, although the source of …

The rheology of bubble-bearing suspensions is investigated through a series of three-
dimensional boundary integral calculations in which the effects of bubble deformation …

The growth of lava domes can be either quiescent or violent, with transitions between styles
of behavior commonly occurring with little warning. Here we propose that the behavior …

It is proposed that lava domes possess a yield strength whose magnitude governs their
shape and explosivity. Theoretical and laboratory modelling of the spread of viscoplastic …

We have investigated the effect of a solidifying crust on the dynamics and surface
morphology of radial viscous-gravity currents. Liquid polyethylene glycol was admitted into …
