Fluid Motions in Volcanic Conduits: A Source of Seismic and Acoustic Signals – Special Publication no 307 (No. 307)

Volcanoes become active when fluids are in motion, and erupt when these fluids escape into the atmosphere. Volcanic fluids are a mixture of solid, liquid and gas. These mixtures result in a complex range of flow behaviour, especially during interaction … Continue reading
