  • Volcanogenic Tsunamis in Lakes: Examples from Nicaragua and General Implications
    Ó Birkha¨user Verlag, Basel, 2007 Pure appl. geophys. 164 (2007) 527–545 0033–4553/07/030527–19 Pure and Applied Geophysics DOI 10.1007/s00024-006-0178-z Volcanogenic Tsunamis in Lakes: Examples from Nicaragua and General Implications 1,2 3 1 ARMIN FREUNDT, WILFRIED STRAUCH, STEFFEN KUTTEROLF, and 1,2 HANS-ULRICH SCHMINCKE Abstract—This paper emphasizes the fact that tsunamis can occur in continental lakes and focuses on tsunami triggering by processes related to volcanic eruptions and instability of volcanic edifices. The two large lakes of Nicaragua, Lake Managua and Lake Nicaragua, host a section of the Central American Volcanic Arc including several active volcanoes. One case of a tsunami in Lake Managua triggered by an explosive volcanic eruption is documented in the geologic record. However, a number of events occurred in the past at both lakes which were probably tsunamigenic. These include massive intrusion of pyroclastic flows from Apoyo volcano as well as of flank-collapse avalanches from Mombacho volcano into Lake Nicaragua. Maar-forming phreatomagmatic eruptions, which repeatedly occurred in Lake Managua, are highly explosive phenomena able to create hugh water waves as was observed elsewhere. The shallow water depth of the Nicaraguan lakes is discussed as the major limiting factor of tsunami amplitude and propagation speed. The very low-profile shores facilitate substantial in-land flooding even of relatively small waves. Implications for conceiving a possible warning system are also discussed. Key words: Lake tsunami, volcanogenic tsunami, tsunami hazard, Nicaraguan lakes. Introduction Tsunamis are widely recognized as disastrous waves in the ocean triggered by earthquakes, particularly since the Dec.

  • Persistent Degassing at Masaya Volcano, Nicaragua Saskia M Van Manen
    van Manen Journal of Applied Volcanology 2014, 3:9 http://www.appliedvolc.com/content/3/1/9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Perception of a chronic volcanic hazard: persistent degassing at Masaya volcano, Nicaragua Saskia M van Manen Abstract This study takes a combined qualitative and quantitative approach to examining the chronic hazard posed by persistent degassing at Masaya volcano, Nicaragua. The gas is a highly salient threat in communities surrounding Masaya volcano, with the elevated salience level of his invisible hazard deriving from the highly perceptible impacts of the degassing; these include individual and material impacts such as increased prevalence of self-reported respiratory disease and decreased crop diversification and productivity. Qualitative results concur with findings from a quantitative assessment of ambient SO2 exposure using diffusion tubes: the current level of SO2 degassing far exceeds international guideline values, making it a likely cause of adverse health effects for the general population. Conversely contaminant levels of heavy and toxic metals in foodstuffs were found to be below international standards. A community-based integrated hazard mitigation approach identified by this research is the cultivation of crops, particularly pineapple (Ananas comosus) and pitaya (Hylocereus sp.), that are better able to withstand the local environmental conditions (e.g. increased atmospheric SO2 and acid gas deposition). Despite this, little is known regarding disaster response and risk reduction at the community level and the gas hazard is largely overlooked. This shows large scope for increasing resilience in collaboration with the community, through for example the development of community-level risk management committees, improvement and implementation of (gas) mitigation strategies and disaster preparedness approaches.

The first one was of 5.4 on the Richter Scale with its epicenter in the valley of the Laguna de Apoyo, 35 km south of Managua City.

The second earthquake was of 5.2 on the Richter Scale with its epicenter in the hills of the Coyote, affecting directly the city of Masaya and the Municipalities of San Juan de Oriente, Catarina, Dario, Diriomo, Niquinohomo y Nindirí. ACT members in Nicaragua responded immediately with their own resources to help the most needy in the crisis phase. The Lutheran Church of Nicaragua along with Centro Intereclesial de Estudios Teológicos y Sociales (CIEETS) are submitting a proposal to help the most vulnerable of the affected population with reconstruction of houses and income generating projects. The proposal comprises the following components: ¨ Food distribution ¨ Reparation of damaged houses ¨ Reconstruction of pottery and bakery kilns ACT is a worldwide network of churches and related agencies meeting human need through coordinated emergency response.

Nicaragua’s favorite item of furniture, there must be more rocking chairs here than in any other country throughout the world. How much would you pay for a quality rocking chair in the States—$100 or $200? In Nicaragua, you can find them for around $35. If you content yourself with just one, you could even carry it onto the plane—you can buy them disassembled. In fact, if you purchase any Nicaraguan product at home, you’re likely to be paying at least five times as much as what you could get them for locally and often a lot more. The fact that most artisans get monthly earnings of less than $100 for their work should tell you that you’re going to come across some incredible bargains here.
