Transport properties of glassy and molten lavas as a function of temperature and composition
(Elsevier, 2016-11-15)
We provide measurements of thermal diffusivity (D), heat capacity (CP), and viscosity (η) for 12 remelted natural lavas and 4 synthetic glasses and melts, ranging in composition from leucogranite to low-silica basalt, and ...
Short-period volcanic gas precursors to phreatic eruptions: Insights from Poás Volcano, Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
Volcanic eruptions involving interaction with water are amongst the most violent and unpredictable geologic phenomena on Earth. Phreatic eruptions are exceptionally difficult to forecast by traditional geophysical techniques. ...
La actividad explosiva del volcán Turrialba (Costa Rica) en el período 2010 - 2016
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2016-12-18)
The most recent eruptive activity of Turrialba volcano began on the 5th of January 2010, after more than a century of dormancy. The fragmentation process and aerodynamic behavior of the ash from Turrialba’s vulcanian ...
Are the ashes from the latest eruptions (2010–2016) at Turrialba volcano (Costa Rica) related to phreatic or phreatomagmatic events?
(Elsevier, 2016-09-15)
The initial eruptive episodes of explosive eruptions are classified as phreatic if the amount of juvenile material (scoria, glass, pumice) is null, and the amount of fresh accidental lithics, and hydrothermally altered ...
Eruptive activity at Turrialba volcano (Costa Rica): Inferences from 3He/4He in fumarole gases and chemistry of the products ejected during 2014 and 2015
(AGU Publications, 2016)
A new period of eruptive activity started at Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica, in 2010 after almost 150 years of quiescence. This activity has been characterized by sporadic explosions whose frequency clearly increased since ...
