Understanding the influence of bubble foams on magma permeability and strength is critical to investigations of volcanic eruption mechanisms. Increasing foam porosity decreases strength, enhancing the probability of an eruption. However, higher porosities ...
The paper presents the work carried out for the analysis of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a volcanic ash in unsaturated conditions for the establishment of a landslide eary warning system (EWS) in a Costa Rican quarry. Rapid mass movements involving as ...
This chapter is a contribution in honour of Gerhard H Jirka, who has been fascinated by the amazing variety of small-scale structures that nature surprises us with, particularly in stratified natural waters. Here, we focus on the diffusive regime of double ...
To illustrate the advances made in permeability calculations combining X-ray microtomography and lattice Boltzmann method simulations, a sample suite of different types of pumices was investigated. Large three-dimensional images at high spatial resolution ...
Stratospheric aerosols play a significant role in stratospheric chemistry. In the past, it was assumed that only liquid droplets are present in the stratosphere. Nevertheless, a few lidar measurements have shown that sudden enhancement of aerosol content i ...
