Not a Simple Plumbing Problem

Studying Volcanic Plumbing Systems – Multidisciplinary Approaches to a Multifaceted Problem

Magma transport and storage beneath active volcanoes occurs in the so-called volcanic plumbing system (VPS), a network of different magmatic sheet intrusions and magma reservoirs. The complex physical and chemical processes, which occur in the volcanic plumbing system, are key parameters that control the occurrence of an eruption, as well as type and size of the eruption. It is therefore impera...

Basket, Flat Plumbing and Flat Plumbing Basket Numbers of Links

We define the basket number, the flat plumbing number and the flat plumbing basket number of a link. Then we provide some upperbounds for these plumbing numbers by using Seifert’s algorithm. We study the relation between these plumbing numbers and the genera of links.
