Open AccessUpper holocene tephro-chronostratigraphy of Irazú Volcano, Costa Rica
Irazú is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Costa Rica. We present the tephro-chronostratigraphy of the last 2.6 ka of the Irazú volcano based on detailed field work and C14 radiometric dating, as we...

Open AccessIncrement in the volcanic unrest and number of eruptions after the 2012 large earthquakes sequence in Central America
Understanding the relationship cause/effect between tectonic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions is a striking topic in Earth Sciences. Volcanoes erupt with variable reaction times as a consequence of the impac...

Probabilistic E-tools for Hazard Assessment and Risk Management
The impact of a natural event can significantly affect human life and the environment. Although fascinating, a volcanic eruption creates similar or even greater problems than more frequent natural events due t...

Open AccessSusceptibility of intrusion-related landslides at volcanic islands: the Stromboli case study
Susceptibility of intrusion-related landslides in an active volcano was evaluated coupling the landslide susceptibility estimation by random forest (RF), and the probabilistic volcanic vent opening distributio...

Using Statistics to Quantify and Communicate Uncertainty During Volcanic Crises
For decades, and especially in recent years, there has been an increasing amount of research using statistical modelling to produce volcanic forecasts, so that people could make better decisions. This research...

Open AccessProbabilistic approach to decision-making under uncertainty during volcanic crises: retrospective application to the El Hierro (Spain) 2011 volcanic crisis
Understanding the potential evolution of a volcanic crisis is crucial for designing effective mitigation strategies. This is especially the case for volcanoes close to densely populated regions, where inappro...

Open AccessHASSET: a probability event tree tool to evaluate future volcanic scenarios using Bayesian inference
Event tree structures constitute one of the most useful and necessary tools in modern volcanology for assessment of hazards from future volcanic scenarios (those that culminate in an eruptive event as well as ...

False Positive Reduction in Mammographic Mass Detection Using Local Binary Patterns
In this paper we propose a new approach for false positive reduction in the field of mammographic mass detection. The goal is to distinguish between the true recognized masses and the ones which actually are n...

Colour Texture Segmentation by Region-Boundary Cooperation
A colour texture segmentation method which unifies region and boundary information is presented in this paper. The fusion of several approaches which integrate both information sources allows us to exploit the...
