  1. 1. Property Prices and Disaster (In)Justice: Fifty Years of Demographic Change in Hawai’i County’s Lava Hazard Zones

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : AnaCapri Mauro; [2022]
    Keywords : Social Vulnerability; Volcanic Hazards; Disaster Justice; Risk Governance; Temporal Analysis; Mauna Loa; Kīlauea; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : While there is a degree of homogeneity in the physical impact that volcanic hazards can cause, the experience of volcanic risk and the politics of exposure are far from equal. The purpose of this thesis is to expand on research citing population growth and property price dynamics as factors encouraging settlement in the Mauna Loa and Kīlauea lava hazard zones. READ MORE

  3. 2. A Simulation of Landslide-Generated Waves Using a Fully Implicit ISPH

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Kosei Nishida; [2020]
    Keywords : SPH; Landslide-generated waves; non-newtonian fluid; multiphase flow; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to study the mechanisms of landslide-generated waves. As the landslide dynamics and the evaluation of impact forces acting on water are most important, landslide is modelled as a highly viscous fluid. Incompressible SPH (ISPH) is used for fluid simulation. READ MORE

  4. 3. Monitoring of Santorini (Greece) volcano during post-unrest period (2014-2016) with Interferometric Time series of Sentinel-1A

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Christos Bountzouklis; [2016]
    Keywords : Santorini Volcanic Complex; earth observation; volcanic hazard; SAR Interferometry; Sentinel-1A; physical geography and ecosystem science; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Ground deformation monitoring is one of the main geoindicators that should be considered to assess volcanic hazard. Satellite earth observation data and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometry have been used continuously since 1992 to measure or study the temporal evolution of surface deformation in volcanic areas in conjunction with ground-based geodetic measurements.

  5. 4. Investigating Magma Plumbing Beneath Anak Krakatau Volcano, Indonesia : Evidence for Multiple Magma Storage Regions

    University essay from Berggrundsgeologi

    Author : Börje Dahrén; [2010]
    Keywords : Anak Krakatau; thermobarometry; magma plumbing; clinopyroxene; plagioclase;

    Abstract : Improving our understanding of magma plumbing and storage remains one of the majorchallenges for petrologists and volcanologists today. This is especially true for explosivevolcanoes, where constraints on magma plumbing are essential for predicting dynamicchanges in future activity and thus for hazard mitigation. READ MORE
