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 …

When considering the rheology of a suspension the fundamental physical aspect to be
quantified is the redistribution of strain between the deformable matrix fraction of the …

Event trees are useful frameworks for discussing probabilities of possible outcomes of
volcanic unrest. Each branch of the tree leads from a necessary prior event to a more …

Samples collected from a lava channel active at Kīlauea Volcano during May 1997 are used
to constrain rates of lava cooling and crystallization during early stages of flow. Lava erupted …

Factors which control lava flow length are still not fully understood. The assumption that flow
length as mainly influenced by viscosity was contested by Walker (1973) who proposed that …

We developed a technique for determining paleoeffusion rates and emplacement times for
submarine lava flows, using observations of flow morphology and estimates of eruption …

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 …

Long basaltic lava flows (over 100 km in length) require specific emplacement conditions to
prevent the lava from freezing as it is transported to the flow front. The minimum dimensions …

The results of recent laboratory experiments with wax extruded beneath relatively cold water
may be extrapolated to predict the surface morphology of submarine lavas as a function of …

Lacking plate tectonics and crustal recycling, the long-term evolution of the crust-mantle
system of Mars is driven by mantle convection, partial melting, and silicate differentiation …
