Introduction: A number of terrestrial analog studies have focused on characterizing individual lava flows [e.g., 3, 6-7]. Morphometric and compositional information from these features can be used to infer the rheological properties of similar lava flows, the timing and duration of the eruptions episodes, the depth of the magma chambers [2, 12-14], and even the eruptive and emplacement history ...

INTRODUCTION Recent volcanic activity of Io generally does not produce conical mountains. Instead, their lava run out in thin, long flows. Volcanic centers are typically large, deep calderas cut into the interpatera plains. Bright lava flows on Io can mostly be associated with sulfur lavas, with no visible escarpments that would indicate higher viscosity material. From temperature measurements ...

A bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) program on a MATLAB platform was effectively used to handle gravity signals for the Tongshi gold field. This yielded a two-dimensional intrinsic mode function (IMF3) image that meticulously depicts the spatial distribution relationship between various gold deposits and the different geological units of the gold field. By combining the IMF3 ima...

Semi-massive to massive sulfides with abundant late native sulfur were drilled in a shallowwater hydrothermal system in an island arc volcanic setting at the Palinuro volcanic complex in the Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy. Overall, 12.7 m of sulfide mineralisation were drilled in a sediment-filled depression at a water depth of 630 650 m using the lander-type Rockdrill I drill rig of the British Geologi...

The island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), is showing possible signs of reawakening after its last basaltic strombolian eruption, dated 1909 at Chinyero. The main concern relates to the central active volcanic complex Teide – Pico Viejo, which poses serious hazards to the properties and population of the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), and which has erupted several times during...

Mons Rümker is a large volcanic complex in Oceanus Procellarum on the Moon and is a candidate landing site for China’s Chang’E-5 sample return mission. We conducted a comprehensive study of the topography, geomorphology, composition, and stratigraphy of the Mons Rümker region with multisource remote sensing data in order to better understand the geology of the region and provide further support...

In this paper, we present a physics motivated modeling method for volcanic clouds as a two fluids model. Some previous methods model smoke or clouds as one fluid, but the volcanic clouds can not be treated as one fluid. The volcanic clouds consist of the pyroclasts, the volcanic gas and the entrained air. Since the pyroclasts and the volcanic gas can be treated as one fluid, called magma, the v...
