This article summarizes the present state of knowledge of the geology of Hawaii. It tends to concentrate on aspects not usually covered by review articles. Current ideas on hotspots and mantle plumes are applied to the specific example of Hawaii, the eight volcanic systems currently nourished by the hotspot are identified, and gross differences in magma-supply rate are related to position of th...

Full-resolution (FMIDR) Magellan radar backscatter images have been used to characterize the geology and volcanology of the volcano Maat Mons on Venus. This volcano has often been identified by remote sensing techniques as one of the volcanoes on the planet that could have been recently active, and is the highest volcano on Venus with a relief of ∼9 km. The summit of Maat Mons is characterized ...

This paper provides a review of the progress in regard to the InSAR remote sensing technique and its applications in earth and environmental sciences, especially in the past decade. Basic principles, factors, limits, InSAR sensors, available software packages for the generation of InSAR interferograms were summarized to support future applications. Emphasis was placed on the applications of InS...

Earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic activity are some of the natural hazards studied by the experts and that still studied nowadays [1]. These natural phenomena are considered inevitable due to its natural origin and its large scale. However, these can be predicted thanks to the wide range of projects and methods developed by scientists. As a result the predictions are becoming more efficient an...

Volcanology, seismology and Earth Sciences in general, like all quantitative sciences, are increasingly dependent on the quantity quality of data acquired [...]

This review is intended to highlight recent exciting advances in the study of distal (>100 km from the source) tephra and cryptotephra deposits and their potential application for volcanology. Geochemical correlations of tephra between proximal and distal locations have extended the geographical distribution of tephra over tens of millions square kilometers. Such correlations embark on the pote...

Abstract Paleomagnetic and rock magnetic methods for studying volcanoes their products have been developed since the second half of twentieth century. These used to find tephra in sediment cores, date volcanic eruptions deposits, determine emplacement temperatures estimate flow directions dikes, lava flows, pyroclastic deposits. In twenty-first century, these techniques steadily improved expand...
