Course Please check the website: http://www.geo.mtu.edu/~klknutse/EHazSuperEruption.html for an online course on Super Eruptions sponsored by the EHaz consortium of universities. Read More... ( 154 bytes in body) Research Mars has three main volcanic regions (Tharsis, Elysium and Circum-Hellas). For my research I am studying Peneus and Amphitrites Paterae, located south of the Hellas Impact Basin. Read More... ( 366 bytes in body) Article I will be reviewing the major concepts from the 1981 paper by C. Dan Miller entitled "Potential Hazards from volcanic eruptions in the Long Valley-Mono Lake area," as well as the first chapter of Joshua H. Ring's thesis entitled "Young volcanism in western Long Valley caldera, California." I will be concentrating on the methods used by both authors in the production of their hazard maps and how the hazards zones were defined. Read More... Research Long Valley Caldera, California, has undergone four distinct eruptive sequences over the last 160,000 years. Mammoth Mountain, a cumulovolcano emplaced during the Mammoth sequence (119-57 ka), and Negit Island, a small island in Mono Lake (generated during the Inyo sequence, 6 ka—present), are especially important because they represent the most recent volcanic activity in the region. My research will focus on mapping and petrological analysis of both Negit Island and Mammoth Mountain.... Read More... ( 939 bytes in body) Article Formed from the intermingling of magma and wet sediment, Wohletz applies the properties of FCI theory to investigate the ratio of thermite and wet sediments required to form peperites. Peperites are unique contact features occuring between magma and wet sediments that I will be investigating for constraints on runout and surface morphology. Read More... |
