The mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is the largest, most continuous volcanic system on Earth, yet we
have directly observed, mapped or sampled less than one percent of its total surface area …

The growth and decay of oceanic hotspot volcanoes are intrinsically related to a competition
between volcanic construction and erosive destruction, and coastlines are at the forefront of …

The flow structure that is largely responsible for the good performance of insect wings has
recently been identified as a leading-edge vortex,. But because such vortices become …

Large‐volume extrusive basaltic constructions have distinct morphologies and seismic
properties depending on the eruption and emplacement environments. The presence and …

The physical volcanology of continental flood basalt (CFB) lava flows has received relatively
little attention until recently. The emphasis of most previous research on flood basalt …

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 …

Unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS) are developing into fundamental tools for tackling the
grand challenges in volcanology; here, we review the systems used and their diverse …

Extensive flows of the Columbia River Basalt (CRB) Group in Washington, Oregon, and
Idaho are dominantly inflated compound pahoehoe sheet lavas. Early studies recognized …

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 …

The review examines the role of geomorphology in analyzing the volcanoes on Earth. Five
objectives are stressed. First, classifications of volcanic landforms should be improved to …
