Volcano Instability on the Earth and Other Planets: No. 110. (Geological Society of London Special Publications) - Hardcover
Synopsis
A study which reveals active volcanoes to be dynamically evolving structures, the growth and development of which are punctuated by episodes of instability and subsequent structural failure. Edifice failure and consequent debris avalanche formation appears to occur, on average, at least four times a century, and similar behaviour is known to have occured at volcanoes on Mars and Venus. The book claims that hazard-mitigation strategies must now address the possibility of future collapse events which may be ten-times greater than that at Mount St Helens in 1980.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Since the eruption of Mount St Helens in 1980, edifice instability and collapse have been recognized at numerous volcanoes, both currently active and within the geological record, and the phenomena are now recognized as normal occurrences within the life-cycle of all types of volcano. The papers are broadly grouped, with the first two summarizing contemporary issues and addressing the development of volcano instability within the Solar System. The following five papers focus upon the different ways in which a volcanic edifice may be destabilized and experience structural failure, while the succeeding four papers examine instability monitoring and hazard implications. The bulk of the volume is devoted to the description and discussion of instability-related processes and products at specific volcanoes or volcanic regions, both submarine, subaerial, and on Mars and Venus, while the final paper examines instabilities within the plumbing system of Stromboli volcano.
