The microstructure and mineralogy of volcanic rocks is varied and complex, and their
mechanical behaviour is similarly varied and complex. This review summarises recent …

Volcano slope instability manifests in many forms, ranging from steady state to punctuated
movement, or shallow erosion to deep-seated spreading. The interplay of gravity, magmatic …

The accuracy of elastic analytical solutions and numerical models, widely used in
volcanology to interpret surface ground deformation, depends heavily on the Young's …

In volcanic regions, reliable estimates of mechanical properties for specific volcanic events
such as cyclic inflation-deflation cycles by magmatic intrusions, thermal stressing, and high …

The geomechanical characterization of volcanic material has important implications for
geothermal and mineral exploration, engineering design, geophysical signals of volcano …

Volcanic structures are inhomogeneous on a number of scales. Quantifying whether such
inhomogeneities result in a physical and mechanical anisotropy is important to improve …

Abstract Knowledge of the strength and elastic modulus of a reservoir rock is important for
the optimisation of a particular geothermal resource. The reservoir rock for many geothermal …

Rose diagrams are powerful tools for visually representing two-dimensional orientation (and
other cyclic) data. The conventional practice of scaling the wedge radius to frequency leads …

Volcanic cones are frequently near their gravitational stability limit, which can lead to lateral
collapse of the edifice, causing extensive environmental impact, property damage, and loss …

Abstract Over the past 9,150 years, at least 9 flank collapses have been identified in the
history of La Soufrière of Guadeloupe volcano. On account of the volcano's current unrest …
