Quantitative measurements of interactions between lava and ice/snow are critical for improving our knowledge of glaciovolcanic hazards and our ability to use glaciovolcanic deposits for paleoclimate reconstructions. However, such measurements are rare because the eruptions tend to be dangerous and not easily accessible. To address these diffi culties, we conducted a series of pilot experiments ...

The Kalkarindji continental flood basalt province of northern Australia erupted in the mid Cambrian (c. 511 505 Ma). It now consists of scattered basaltic lava fields, the most extensive being the Antrim Plateau Volcanics (APV) a semi-continuous outcrop (c. 50,000 km) reaching a maximum thickness of 1.1 km. Cropping out predominately in the SW of the APV, close to the top of the basalt successi...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The fracture of implant-supported restorations, especially of the veneering layer, is a common problem in dentistry. Monolithic ceramic or resin restorations might help solve this problem. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to obtain additional insight into the risk of fracture of implant-supported restorations. MATERIAL AND METHODS Identical crowns (n=10) o...

Introduction: We have obtained multiple contemporaneous ground and space-based visible and hyperspectral infrared observations of a persistent active lava lake, one of the rarest volcanonological phenomenon. This unique dataset advances our understanding of remote sensing of lava lake activity on Earth and Io. The Mt. Erebus lava lake: Active lava lakes are the top of an open magma system and p...

The Galileo spacecraft has been periodically monitoring volcanic activity on Io since June 1996, making it possible to chart the evolution of individual eruptions. We present results of coanalysis of Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS) and solidstate imaging (SSI) data of eruptions at Pele and Pillan, especially from a particularly illuminating data set consisting of mutually constraining...

Bands in volcanic rocks are deformed by inclusions, such as bubbles and crystals. The shape of deformed bands is compared with theoretical models for flow around inclusions. Deformation through either simple or pure shear can be distinguished for phenocrysts, but not bubbles. Studying band deformation at the microscale thus complements other textural measurements and structural approaches for r...

Kansas Lava is a domain specific language for hardware description. Though there have been a number of previous implementations of Lava, we have found the design space rich, with unexplored choices. We use a direct (Chalmers style) specification of circuits, and make significant use of Haskell overloading of standard classes, leading to concise circuit descriptions. Kansas Lava supports both si...

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques are used to calculate the volume of eruption at Okmok volcano, Alaska by constructing precise digital elevation models (DEMs) that represent volcano topography before and after the eruption. The pre-eruption DEM is generated using TOPSAR data where a three-dimensional multiaffined transformation is used to account for the misalignments...

This study proposes a model based on the combination of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, Coarse Grained Molecular Dynamics and the Discrete Element Method for the simulation of dispersed solid-liquid flows. The model can deal with a large variety of particle types (non-spherical, elastic, breakable, melting, solidifying, swelling), flow conditions (confined, free-surface, microscopic), and scal...
