Mathematical Modeling of Volcanic Processes - Part II of II

3:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Room: Oregon Ballroom 202 - Level 3

For Part I, see MS46

Volcanoes are an essential element of the physical and cultural landscape of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Mathematical modeling of volcano processes increasingly forms the basis for both interpretation of volcano physics and prediction of volcano hazards. Problems in volcano modeling involve diverse topics, ranging from computation of transonic eruptive blasts to formulation and testing of equations governing surface flows of lava and rock debris. This minisymposium highlights current problems in volcanology where combined efforts of geophysicists and applied mathematicians can facilitate progress.
