Mechanisms of Unrest and Eruption at Persistently Restless Volcanoes: Insights From the 2015 Eruption of Telica Volcano, Nicaragua
(Advancing Earh and Space Science, 2019)
Many of Earth's volcanoes experience well‐defined states of “quiescence” and “unrest,” with unrest occasionally culminating in eruption. Some volcanoes, however, experience an unusually protracted (i.e., decades‐long) ...
Magmatic volatiles in ash leachates and environmental impact assessment of the 29-30 October 2014 eruption of Turrialba volcano
(The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), 2015-06)
Resumen de presentación sobre volátiles magmáticos en lixiviados de cenizas y evaluación de impacto ambiental de la erupción del volcán Turrialba del 29 al 30 de octubre de 2014 en la 26th IUGG General Assembly
Renewed Explosive Phreatomagmatic Activity at Poás Volcano, Costa Rica in April 2017
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018-10-16)
Phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions at volcanoes often present no short termprecursory activity, making them a challenge to forecast. Poás volcano, Costa Rica, exhibits cyclic activity with phreatic and some phreatomagmatic ...
Drones Swoop in to Measure Gas Belched from Volcanoes
(EOS. Science News by AGU, 2018-07-25)
Los gases volcánicos son importantes herramientas de pronóstico de erupciones que se utilizan a menudo en el monitoreo de volcanes. Sin embargo, la recolección de muestras de gas requiere que los científicos ingresen a ...
Carbon isotope systematics of Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica, using a portable cavity ring-down spectrometer
(AGU Publications, 2017-07-27)
Over the past two decades, activity at Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica, has shifted from hydrothermal to increasingly magmatic in character, with enhanced degassing and eruption potential. We have conducted a survey of the ...
Carbon and sulfur isotopes in tree rings as a proxy for volcanic degassing
(Geological Society of America, 2019-07-05)
Trees are useful archives of past atmospheric conditions. They have most commonly been used to infer large-scale changes in climate, industrial pollution, and the magnitude and frequency of geological hazards. While ...
Are the ashes from the latest eruptions (2010–2016) at Turrialba volcano (Costa Rica) related to phreatic or phreatomagmatic events?
(Elsevier, 2016-09-15)
The initial eruptive episodes of explosive eruptions are classified as phreatic if the amount of juvenile material (scoria, glass, pumice) is null, and the amount of fresh accidental lithics, and hydrothermally altered ...
A New Sulfur and Carbon Degassing Inventory for the Southern Central American Volcanic Arc: The Importance of Accurate Time-Series Data Sets and Possible Tectonic Processes Responsible for Temporal Variations in Arc-Scale Volatile Emissions
(AGU Publications, 2017-12-12)
This work presents a new database of SO2 and CO2 fluxes from the Southern Central American Volcanic Arc (SCAVA) for the period 2015–2016. We report 300 SO2 flux measurements from 10 volcanoes and gas ratios from 11 volcanoes ...
Implementation of electrochemical, optical and denuder-based sensors and sampling techniques on UAV for volcanic gas measurements: examples from Masaya, Turrialba and Stromboli volcanoes
(European Geosciences Union, 2018-04-26)
Volcanoes are a natural source of several reactive gases (e.g., sulfur and halogen containing species) and nonreactive gases (e.g., carbon dioxide) to the atmosphere. The relative abundance of carbon and sulfur in volcanic ...
Insights Into the Mechanisms of Phreatic Eruptions From Continuous High Frequency Volcanic Gas Monitoring: Rincón de la Vieja Volcano, Costa Rica
(Frontiers Media, 2019-01-11)
Understanding the trigger mechanisms of phreatic eruptions is key to mitigating the
effects of these hazardous but poorly forecastable volcanic events. It has recently been
established that high-rate volcanic gas ...
