Kīlauea's eruption style is generally dominated by a "harmless" effusive activity of lava pouring out from fissures, but the volcano can have phases of impressive explosive eruptions. In May 1924 ...

Kīlauea is a ‘shield volcano,’ which causes it to erupt in explosive and effusive cycles. The worst of its eruptions was the Keanakakoi eruption, recorded in November 1790. Classified as a ...

we assume that future eruptions will be similar . . . effusive eruptions, something like the lava flows on Kilauea today, and slightly vigorous lava fountains and fissures that could produce ...

Two broad categories of eruption, effusive and explosive, can describe the habits of a particular volcano. Effusive eruptions involve the outpouring of basaltic lava that flows quite easily and ...

This PhD will reveal the pre-eruptive priming and triggering processes, as well as the timescales between priming and eruption, for both effusive and explosive eruptive styles at Merapi volcano ...
