| Description: This special session will present results from experiments aimed at understanding conduit processes during explosive basaltic eruptions from Strombolian to Hawaiian-fountaining. New insights into these processes have been gained through coincident, multidisciplinary studies using techniques such as infrasound, seismic, thermal monitoring, OP-FTIR, and Doppler radar. These studies have lead to an improved understanding of source mechanisms conduit advection degassing, crystallization fragmentation level, eruption dynamics, and pyroclast dispersal. We encourage submissions relating multidisciplinary observations and physical modeling of dynamic processes of conduit physics. | |
