Schistosomiasis transmission at high altitude crater lakes in Western Uganda
BACKGROUND Contrary to previous reports which indicated no transmission of schistosomiasis at altitude >1,400 m above sea level in Uganda, in this study it has been established that schistosomiasis transmission can take place at an altitude range of 1487-1682 m above sea level in western Uganda. METHODS An epidemiological survey of intestinal schistosomiasis was carried out in school children...
متن کاملStructured Elicitation of Expert Judgment for Probabilistic Hazard and Risk Assessment in Volcanic Eruptions
When a potentially dangerous volcano becomes restless, civil authorities invariably turn to scientific specialists to help them anticipate what the volcano will do next, and to provide them with guidance as to the likely threats. Although it is usually possible to discern the earliest signs of unrest, the science of forecasting the course and timing of eruptions remains inexact. In this chapter...
متن کاملMt Ruapehu Crater Lake lahar hazard
This report documents the results of some additional computational hydraulic modelling of the historic 1953 lahar event down the Whangaehu River (which caused the Tangiwai disaster) and a hypothetical lahar event generated by a future collapse of the Mt Ruapehu Crater Lake outlet barrier. Based on the results of the additional work, the following conclusions were obtained regarding the lahar ev...
متن کاملImpacts do not initiate volcanic eruptions: Eruptions close to the crater
A theme that runs through many papers on meteorite impact is the idea that large impacts can induce volcanic eruptions through decompression melting of the underlying rocks. We perform numerical simulations of the impact of an asteroid with a diameter of 20 km striking at 15 km s-1 into a target with a near surface temperature gradient of 13 K km-1 (" cold " case) or 30 K km-1 (" hot " case). T...
متن کاملContinuous thermal monitoring of the 2008 eruptions at Showa crater of Sakurajima volcano, Japan
An infrared thermal monitoring system installed 3.5 km from the Showa crater of Sakurajima volcano, Japan, enabled the capture of continuous thermal waveform data at 1 Hz during two recent episodes of eruptive activity. The eruptions were characterized by a sudden increase in volcanic cloud temperature in the first 2–5 s, followed by gradual cooling over a few minutes. The maximum cloud tempera...
