Extremely high diversity of sulfate minerals in caves of the Irazú Volcano (Costa Rica) related to crater lake and fumarolic activity
(International Journal of Speleology, 2018-05)
The caves of the Irazú volcano (Costa Rica), became accessible after the partial collapse of the NW sector of the Irazú volcano in 1994, offering the opportunity to investigate active minerogenetic processes in volcanic ...
Comparación de la composición química de partículas PM10 y PM2,5 colectadas en ambientes urbanos y zonas volcánicas del área metropolitana de Costa Rica
(Revista Ciencias Ambientales, 2014-12)
Se muestrearon, en forma simultánea, partículas PM10 y PM2,5 en ambientes urbanos y volcánicos del área metropolitana de Costa Rica, durante octubre y noviembre de 2012. En las áreas industriales y comerciales de alto flujo ...
Co-ideation of disaster preparedness strategies through a participatory design approach: Challenges and opportunities experienced at Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2015)
Disaster preparedness is key to coping and adaptation during the immediate
aftermath of a natural hazard, but the majority of those at risk do not feel
prepared. In this participatory action research we investigate the ...
Relationship between Diffuse CO2 Degassing and Volcanic Activity. Case Study of the Poás, Irazú, and Turrialba Volcanoes, Costa Rica
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017-10-11)
Active volcanoes exhibit diffuse gas emanations through the ground, the most abundant species of which is CO2. However, the relationship between diffuse degassing and volcanic activity is not often clear and some volcanoes ...
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 ...
Renewed Explosive Phreatomagmatic Activity at Poás Volcano, Costa Rica in April 2017
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018-10-16)
Phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions at volcanoes often present no short termprecursory activity, making them a challenge to forecast. Poás volcano, Costa Rica, exhibits cyclic activity with phreatic and some phreatomagmatic ...
Thin-skinned mass-wasting responsible for widespread deformation at Arenal volcano
(Frontiers Media, 2014-12-03)
The shape and stability of a volcano’s edifice depends on the relationship between eruption rate and the loss or redistribution of material due to erosion, mass-wasting or deformation. This work provides measurements of ...
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. ...
Insights on Hydrothermal‐Magmatic Interactions and Eruptive Processes at Poás Volcano (Costa Rica) From High‐Frequency Gas Monitoring and Drone Measurements
(AGU Publications, 2019-02-06)
Identification of unambiguous signals of volcanic unrest is crucial in hazard assessment. Processes leading to phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions remain poorly understood, inhibiting effective eruption forecasting. Our ...
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 ...
