Lengths and hazards from channel-fed lava flows on Mauna Loa, Hawai i, determined from thermal and downslope modeling with FLOWGO
Using the FLOWGO thermo-rheological model we have determined cooling-limited lengths of channelfed (i.e. ‘a‘ā) lava flows from Mauna Loa. We set up the program to run autonomously, starting lava flows from every 4th line and sample in a 30-m spatial-resolution SRTM DEM within regions corresponding to the NE and SW rift zones and the N flank of the volcano. We consider that each model run repres...
متن کاملMorphology and emplacement of a long channeled lava flow near Ascraeus Mons Volcano, Mars
[1] Channeled lava flows, hundreds of kilometers long, are common on the lower flanks of the Tharsis Montes on Mars. Our analysis of a 690-km-long lava flow along the southwest perimeter of Ascraeus Mons shows that it was emplaced on low local slopes (<0.3 ), with a deep channel ( 20 m), and at high effusion rates (19,000–29,000 m/s) calculated from the Graetz number. These parameters are simil...
متن کاملComparison of Effusive Volcanism at Olympus, Arsia, Pavonis, and Ascraeus Montes, Mars from Lava Flow Mapping Using Mars Express Hrsc
Introduction: The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard ESA's Mars Express (MEX) orbiter [1] has provided 12.5 m/pixel projected images for a north-south transect of the four major Tharsis shield volcanoes. These data provide an unprecedented opportunity to examine lava flows at high resolution with regional context. Our objective is to characterize late-stage effusive processes and iden...
متن کاملCommunity preparedness for lava flows from Mauna Loa and Hualālai volcanoes , Kona , Hawai i
Lava flows from Mauna Loa and Hualālai volcanoes are a major volcanic hazard that could impact the western portion of the island of Hawai‘i (e.g., Kona). The most recent eruptions of these two volcanoes to affect Kona occurred in a.d. 1950 and ca. 1800, respectively. In contrast, in eastern Hawai‘i, eruptions of neighboring Kı̄lauea volcano have occurred frequently since 1955, and therefore have...
متن کاملYoung lava flows on the eastern flank of Ascraeus Mons: Rheological properties derived from High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) images and Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) data
[1] We report on estimates of the rheological properties of late-stage lava flows on the eastern flank of Ascraeus Mons, Mars. From previous studies it is known that the dimensions of flows reflect rheological properties such as yield strength, effusion rates, and viscosity. Our estimates are based on new high-resolution images obtained by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board the E...
