AGU Fall Meeting 2013: session V048 Volcano Mass Movements
************************************************************************************************
Volcano
deformation leading to flank failure is a complex combination of
inherent volcano properties including height, morphology, inter and
intra-layer cohesion, alteration, porosity, and external factors such as
magmatic intrusion, tectonics, mechanical properties
of the substratum, climate. Forward progress in understanding volcanic
mass movements requires considering (a) the interplay among inherent and
external factors contributing to volcano deformation, including the
relationship between slow long-term deformation
and sudden collapse, and (b) interpretation of emplacement mechanisms
of debris avalanche from their deposits. In
this session, we encourage contributions on short and
long-term deformation monitoring and process, using geophysical, remote
sensing, modeling or field methods, as well as studies on triggering
and/or emplacement of volcano mass movements such as debris avalanche.
