November 2010 at Merapi (Indonesia) destroyed a rapidly-growing dome and generated …

The large explosive eruption of Merapi volcano, Indonesia, in 2010 presented a key, and
rare, opportunity to study the impacts of a major explosive eruption in a densely populated …

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are the most lethal volcanic process on Earth.
Forecasting their inundation area is essential to mitigate their risk, but existing models are …

The 2010 VEI 4 eruption of Merapi volcano deposited roughly ten times the volume of
pyroclastic materials of the 1994 and 2006 eruptions, and is recognized as one of the most …

The estimation of the volume of volcanic flows during an ongoing eruption is challenging but
this information is crucial for improving risk assessment and for forecasting future events …

Low permeability dome rocks may contribute to conduit overpressure development in
volcanic systems, indirectly abetting explosive activity. The permeability of dome-forming …
