New paper in Frontiers is online

March 16, 2022

Our study "Buoyancy versus local stress field control on the velocity of magma propagation: insight from analog and numerical modelling" by Virginie Pinel, Séverine Furst, Francesco Maccaferri, Delphine Smittarello, was published in Frontiers in Earth Science, section Volcanology.
In order to effectively assess volcanic hazards in region of distributed volcanism it is essential to have quantitative information on the probability of the location of a future eruptive vent and the duration (...)
