Los Morados complex is a group of at least four closely spaced scoria cones (Los Morados main cone and the older Cones A, B, and C). Los Morados main cone was formed by a long lived eruption of months to years. After an initial Hawaiian-style stage, the eruption changed to a normal Strombolian, cone- building style, forming a cone over 150 metres high on a northward dipping (∼4˚) surface. An initial cone gradually grew until a lava flow breached the cone’s base and rafted an estimated 10% of the total volume. A sudden sector collapse initiated a dramatic decompression in the upper part of the feeding conduit and triggered violent a Strombolian style eruptive stage. Subsequently, the eruption became more stable, and changed to a regular Strombolian style that partially rebuilt the cone.

By combining space (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer; MODIS and SENTINEL-2 images) and ground-based geophysical data, we track, in near real-time, the thermal, seismic and infrasonic changes associated with Etna’s activity during the September–December 2018 period. Satellite thermal data reveal that the fissural eruption was preceded by a persistent increase of summit activity, as reflected by overflow episodes in New SouthEast Crater (NSE) sector.

  • Processes of Policy Mobility in the Governance of Volcanic Risk
    1 Processes of Policy Mobility in the Governance of Volcanic Risk Graeme Alexander William Sinclair Lancaster Environment Centre Lancaster University Lancaster LA1 4YQ UK Submitted 2019 This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. 2 Statement of Declaration I hereby declare that the content of this PhD thesis is my own work except where otherwise specified by reference or acknowledgement, and has not been previously submitted for any other degree or qualification. Graeme A.W. Sinclair 3 Abstract —National and regional governments are responsible for the development of public policy for volcanic risk reduction (VRR) within their territories. However, practices vary significantly between jurisdictions. A priority of the international volcanological community is the identification and promotion of improved VRR through collaborative knowledge exchange. This project investigates the role of knowledge exchange in the development of VRR. The theories and methods of policy mobility studies are used to identify and explore how, why, where and with what effects international exchanges of knowledge have shaped this area of public policy. Analyses have been performed through the construction of narrative histories. This project details the development of social apparatus for VRR worldwide, depicted as a global policy field on three levels - the global (macro) level; the national (meso) level; and at individual volcanoes (the micro level). The narratives track the transition from a historical absence of VRR policy through the global proliferation of a reactive 'emergency management' approach, to the emergence of an alternative based on long-term planning and community empowerment that has circulated at the macro level, but struggled to translate into practice.

  • Mount St Helens – How the Eruption of a Well-Known Volcano Caused Unexpected Death and Destruction Introduction Mount St. Hele
    Mount St Helens – how the eruption of a well-known volcano caused unexpected death and destruction Introduction Mount St. Helens, a stratovolcano or composite volcano located in Washington State, USA (46.2º latitude north, 122.2º longitude west,) erupted violently on the Sunday morning of May 18th 1980 at precisely 8:32. The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) was recorded to be 5, out of a potential 8, its devastation bringing death to around 57 people directly, along with a plane crash and a traffic accident killing a total of 7 more. The cost of the event itself reached to a height of 1.1 billion dollars. Location of Mount St Helens There are around 550 ‘active’ volcanoes and the vast majority are found among plate boundaries. Causes of the eruption Mount St. Helens sits on the plate boundary between Juan de Fuca and the North American plates (map above). The boundary is part of the so- called ‘Ring of Fire’ - the string of volcanoes that congregate around the margin of the Pacific Ocean. The plate margin that created Mount St. Helens was destructive, with Juan de Fuca plate subducting beneath the North American, producing the line of volcanoes along the Cascade Mountain Range. The fierce 1980 eruption occurred because of the destructive nature of the margin between the Juan de Fuca oceanic plate and the North American continental plate. Tectonic plates move due to convection currents in the mantle, but movement in a different directions creates different possible margins. With the two plates moving towards each other, the oceanic plate in this case was being subducted beneath the continental because the oceanic is denser and heavier.

  • Estimation of Ash Injection in the Atmosphere by Basaltic Volcanic Plumes: the Case of the Eyjafjallajökull 2010 Eruption E
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 116, B00C02, doi:10.1029/2011JB008297, 2011 Estimation of ash injection in the atmosphere by basaltic volcanic plumes: The case of the Eyjafjallajökull 2010 eruption E. Kaminski,1 S. Tait,1 F. Ferrucci,1,2 M. Martet,3 B. Hirn,4 and P. Husson3 Received 8 February 2011; revised 1 July 2011; accepted 26 July 2011; published 13 October 2011. [1] During explosive eruptions, volcanic plumes inject ash into the atmosphere and may severely affect air traffic, as illustrated by the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption. Quantitative estimates of ash injection can be deduced from the height reached by the volcanic plume on the basis of scaling laws inferred from models of powerful Plinian plumes. In less explosive basaltic eruptions, there is a partitioning of the magma influx between the atmospheric plume and an effusive lava flow on the ground. We link the height reached by the volcanic plume with the rate of ash injection in the atmosphere via a refined plume model that (1) includes a recently developed variable entrainment law and (2) accounts for mass partitioning between ground flow and plume. We compute the time evolution of the rate of injection of ash into the atmosphere for the Eyjafjallajökull eruption on the basis of satellite thermal images and plume heights and use the dispersion model of the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center of Toulouse to translate these numbers into hazard maps. The classical Plinian model would have overestimated ash injection by about 20% relative to the refined estimate, which does not jeopardize risk assessment. This small error was linked to effective fragmentation by intense interactions of magma with water derived from melting of ice and hence strong mass partitioning into the plume.
