Workshop – Multidisciplinary Volcano Hazards Experiments , 24-27 July 2018
An open workshop will be hosted by the University at Buffalo (Buffalo, New York) on 24-27 July 2018. The workshop will include a day of experiments related to explosive eruptions. Preliminary plans call for four experiments, each with carefully timed and spaced sequences of buried chemical explosives, generating blast waves, debris-laden jets and plumes, small-scale density currents, and resulting craters and ejecta deposits. Participants are encouraged to participate in data collection using any approach. This could include, for example: high-speed video, acoustic sensors, seismic sensors, thermal infrared video, Doppler radar, ejecta and fallout sampling, and photogrammetry to establish quantitative morphology of explosion products.
Preliminary schedule for the workshop:
· Day 1 – afternoon presentations and discussions by participants on data collection techniques to be deployed and potential integration of the techniques.
· Day 2 – setup at the field station.
· Day 3 – four experiments
· Day 4 – data archiving for shared access, working session where participants present and discuss data from the experiments and future directions for multidisciplinary experimentation, and begin development of a report on the workshop.
Participation is open to any interested researcher. There is no registration fee, however, registration is required at http://geohazards.buffalo.e
This workshop is sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
