AGU 2013 Fall Meeting - Session V029. Models of lava flow emplacement: benchmarks and hazard assessment
************************************************************************************************
Dear all,
We call your attention and invite you to submit an abstract to the
session V029 - Models of lava flow emplacement:
benchmarks and hazard assessment at the next AGU Fall
meeting in San Francisco, December 9-13 (full description at the
bottom of the email).
We wish to bring together researchers from field volcanology,
hazard management and lava flow modelling (theoretical and
experimental).
Our intent is to obtain contributions with a large range
of approaches to identify the key rheological and dynamic
processes associated with lava emplacement, and how fast-computing
numerical models can reproduce them in order to assess the
volcanic hazard. Contributions on numerical codes for complex flow
advance and cooling, and on benchmarks providing reference test
cases, are also welcomed.
Confirmed invited speakers:
- Jim Kauahikaua (USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory)
- Hannah Dietterich / Katherine Cashman (University of Oregon, University of Bristol)
- Simone Tarquini (INGV Pisa)
The deadline for submission is August 6, 2013, submit your abstract at
https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/account/
Best,
The conveners
Benoit Cordonnier (ETH Zurich) cordonnier.benoit@xxxxxxxxx

Session V029 - Models of lava flow
emplacement: benchmarks and hazard assessment
- co-sponsored by the Volcanology and the Natural
Hazards sections
- integrated into the SWIRL "Characterizing Uncertainty" in order
to promote interdisciplinary collaboration
Hazard assessment during an effusive eruption relies on accurate prediction of lava flow rates and paths.
Numerical simulations of lava flow emplacement consider
various parameters (e.g. topography, source conditions and
rheology), and use a range of numerical techniques. To date, most
existing modeling tools have not been validated against a common
benchmark or compared to the same set of field observations.
In this session, we will bring together the flow modeling and observations communities and establish benchmarks for lava flow simulations. Hot topics of interest include the control of effusion rate on flow emplacement, uncertainties in assessing the rheology of flowing lava, and transitions between flow regimes.
