Dynamics of Viscous Entrapped Saturated Zones in Partially Wetted Porous Media
As a typical multiphase fluid flow process, drainage in porous media is of fundamental interest both in nature and in industrial applications. During...

Index of the Long-Term Influence of Sporadic Solar Activity on Cosmic Ray Modulation
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) not only produce Forbush effects but contribute to long-term modulations of cosmic rays. That makes coronal ejections...

Features of the Energy Balance and Fragmentation Mechanisms at Spontaneous Failure of Class I and Class II Rocks
Practically, all types of rockbursts are accompanied by release of seismic energy, rock bulking (due to fracturing and fragmentation), and ejection...

Phreatic eruptions at crater lakes: occurrence statistics and probabilistic hazard forecast
Phreatic eruptions, although posing a serious threat to people in crater proximity, are often underestimated and have been comparatively...
-
Seismology and Earthquakes
The chapter provides a large overview on seismology. The earthquake genesis, waves propagation and attenuation relationships are discussed. From the...

Contrasting mechanisms of magma fragmentation during coeval magmatic and hydromagmatic activity: the Hverfjall Fires fissure eruption, Iceland
Growing evidence for significant magmatic vesiculation prior to magma-water interaction (MWI) has brought into question the use of ‘diagnostic’...
