A geophysical characterization of monogenetic volcanism

Stress Controls of Monogenetic Volcanism: A Review

The factors controlling the preparation of volcanic eruptions in monogenetic fields are still poorly understood. The fact that in monogenetic volcanism each eruption has a different vent suggests that volcanic susceptibility has a high degree of randomness, so that accurate forecasting is subjected to a very high uncertainty. Recent studies on monogenetic volcanism reveal how sensitive magma mi...

Characterization of Temporal Sequences in Geophysical Databases

We examine here a specific scientific application that demonstrates the need for temporal concepts familiar to the scientists. By concentrating on a particular (geophysical data) application, we are able to identify in some detail realistic and useful temporal concepts. We propose a framework for the specification of time sequence properties and define operators classes. We then work out a case...

Flow networks: a characterization of geophysical fluid transport.

We represent transport between different regions of a fluid domain by flow networks, constructed from the discrete representation of the Perron-Frobenius or transfer operator associated to the fluid advection dynamics. The procedure is useful to analyze fluid dynamics in geophysical contexts, as illustrated by the construction of a flow network associated to the surface circulation in the Medit...

Geophysical characterization of the León-Chinandega aquifer, Nicaragua

Electrical geophysical surveys in the mode of vertical electrical soundings (VES) and continuous vertical electrical soundings (CVES) were conducted in the León-Chinandega plains, northwestern Nicaragua, in order to obtain detailed information about the geometry of the different hydrogeological layers in the aquifer and depth to the basement. A total of 51 VES were carried out within the plains...
