  • Basaltic Explosive Volcanism: Constraints from Deposits and Models B.F
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Chemie der Erde 68 (2008) 117–140 www.elsevier.de/chemer INVITED REVIEW Basaltic explosive volcanism: Constraints from deposits and models B.F. HoughtonÃ, H.M. Gonnermann Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Hawai’i at Manoa, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA Received 13 March 2008; accepted 10 April 2008 Abstract Basaltic pyroclastic volcanism takes place over a range of scales and styles, from weak discrete Strombolian 2 3 1 7 8 1 explosions ( 10 –10 kg sÀ ) to Plinian eruptions of moderate intensity (10 –10 kg sÀ ). Recent well-documented historical eruptions from Etna, Kı¯lauea and Stromboli typify this diversity. Etna is Europe’s largest and most voluminously productive volcano with an extraordinary level and diversity of Strombolian to subplinian activity since 1990. Kı¯lauea, the reference volcano for Hawaiian fountaining, has four recent eruptions with high fountaining (4400 m) activity in 1959, 1960, 1969 (–1974) and 1983–1986 (–2008); other summit (1971, 1974, 1982) and flank eruptions have been characterized by low fountaining activity. Stromboli is the type location for mildly explosive Strombolian eruptions, and from 1999 to 2008 these persisted at a rate of ca. 9 per hour, briefly interrupted in 2003 and 2007 by vigorous paroxysmal eruptions. Several properties of basaltic pyroclastic deposits described here, such as bed geometry, grain size, clast morphology and vesicularity, and crystal content are keys to understand the dynamics of the parent eruptions. The lack of clear correlations between eruption rate and style, as well as observed rapid fluctuations in eruptive behavior, point to the likelihood of eruption style being moderated by differences in the fluid dynamics of magma and gas ascent and the mechanism by which the erupting magma fragments.

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.

  • Monitoring Active Volcanoes Using a Handheld Thermal Camera
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Earth-prints Repository Monitoring active volcanoes using a handheld thermal camera Sonia Calvari, Luigi Lodato and Letizia Spampinato Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia – Sezione di Catania, Piazza Roma 2, 95123 Catania (Italy) Abstract Thermal imaging has recently been introduced in volcanology to analyse a number of different volcanic processes. This system allows us to detect magma movements within the summit conduits of active volcanoes, and then to reveal volcanic activity within the craters even through the thick curtain of gases usually released by volcanoes such as Mt Etna and Stromboli. Thermal mapping is essential during effusive eruptions, since it distinguishes lava flows of different age and concealed lava tubes’ path, improving hazard evaluation. Recently, thermal imaging has also been applied to reveal failure planes and instability on the flanks of active volcanoes. Excellent results have been obtained in terms of volcanic prediction during the two recent eruptions of Mt Etna and Stromboli, both occurred in 2002-2003. On Etna, thermal images monthly recorded on the summit of the volcano revealed the opening of fissure systems several months in advance. After the onset of the flank eruption, daily thermal mapping allowed us to monitor a complex lava flow field spreading within a forest, below a thick plume of ash and gas. At Stromboli, helicopter-borne thermal surveys allowed us to recognise the opening of fractures along the Sciara del Fuoco, one hour before the large failure that caused severe destruction on the island on 30 December 2002.

E. Williams-Jones & Paul Wallace & Thomas Staudacher Received: 19 November 2007 /Accepted: 29 April 2009 /Published online: 6 June 2009 # Springer-Verlag 2009 Abstract The November 2002 eruption of Piton de la estimate eruption temperatures. The November 2002 melt Fournaise in the Indian Ocean was typical of the activity of inclusion compositions suggest that they were at temper- the volcano from 1999 to 2006 in terms of duration and atures between 1,070°C and 1,133°C immediately before volume of magma ejected. The first magma erupted was a eruption and quenching. This relatively wide temperature basaltic liquid with a small proportion of olivine phenocrysts range may reflect the fact that most of the melt inclusions (Fo81) that contain small numbers of melt inclusions. In were from olivine in lava samples and therefore likely subsequent flows, olivine crystals were more abundant and underwent minor but variable amounts of post-eruptive 2+ richer in Mg (Fo83–84). These crystals contain numerous melt crystallization and Fe loss by diffusion due to their and fluid inclusions, healed fractures, and dislocation relatively slow cooling on the surface. In contrast, melt features such as kink bands.

Nonetheless, due to determining volume of tephra deposits, which is crucial to the the typically large uncertainties (mainly due to availability of assessment of the magnitude and hazards of explosive volca- data, compilation of isopach and isopleth maps, and discrep- noes. We show how the decay of the size of the largest lithics ancies from empirical best fits), plume height, volume, and with the square root of isopleth area can also be well described magnitude of explosive eruptions cannot be considered as using a Weibull function and how plume height correlates absolute values, regardless of the technique used.

  • 15 Kilauea Volcano's November 1979 Eruption
    15 KILAUEA VOLCANO'S NOVEMBER 1979 ERUPTION* Norman G. Banks and Staff Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Hawaii 96718 KIlauea Volcano erupted November 16-17, 1979, on its upper east rift zone. The eruption was preceded by a seismic swarm that started at 0900 he, March 15. Summit deflation and infla­ tion at the eventual eruption site began simultaneously but one-half hour after the onset of the seismic swarm. Copious emission of steam began east of Pauahi Crater at 0805 hr, November 16, but no lava was erupted from these cracks. At 1818 hr, the sounds of fountaining and falling spatter was heard from vents east of the steaming cracks. At 0821 hr, lava welled up in a new fissure in northwestern Pauahi and soon established low fountains. Seven minutes later, observers arrived at the eastern vents and observed a curtain of fire 5-10 m high and 100 m long. These eastern fountairts mlgrated eastward and ceased activity at 0915 hr. At 1130 hr, two mOre vents opened in Pauahi Crater, followed shortly by opening of a fourth vent in the crater and cessation of activity of the one that opened at 0821 hr. Over the next 1-1/2 hours, five more vents opened progressively west­ ward of the crater. Slightly before 1600 hr, activity at the western vents· began to wane and ceased within the next hour. Lava production at the three still-active vents in Pauahi Crater 'remained relatively constant until 0100 hr, November 17, followed by gradual waning and cessation of activity at 0730 hr.
