Abstract:
AbstractThe early Tertiary Mull-Morvern lava succession, NW Scotland, represents the thickest continuous section (1000 m from sea level to the top of Ben More) of Tertiary lavas exposed in the UK. This succession has been sampled and geochemically analysed, on a flow-by-flow basis, throughout the lava succession. Field observations during the course of this sampling suggest that the early lava flows (the Staffa Magma sub-Type) ponded in palaeovalleys along with interlava sediments. In the main part of the Mull lava succession (the Mull Plateau Group) the lava flows are on average ∼ 5 m thick. Most previous Hebridean workers have assumed that the red horizons commonly found between these later lava flows, represent weathered flow tops. However, this study has shown that in some places these red ‘boles’ appear to be a combination of both volcanic ash and weathered basalt.Chemically distinctive units of flows have been found throughout the succession. The two most abundant magma sub-types of the Mull Plateau Group, primitive (>9wt% MgO) basalts with Ba/Nb» 15 and more evolved (<9wt% MgO) basalts-hawaiites with Ba/Nb<15, form packets of flow units which can be up to 200 m thick. These chemically distinctive flow units have been correlated across the lava succession. However, the correlation of individual lava flows has proved difficult. The Mull Plateau Group lavas generally become more evolved and less contaminated with continental crust towards the top of the succession, culminating in the trachytes of the Pale Group on Ben More. Basaltic lavas above the Pale Group have markedly different trace element ratios, and seem to represent shallower, more extensive asthenospheric melting than the Mull Plateau Group.

Abstract:
Lava flows pose a hazard in volcanic environments and reset ecosystem development. A succession of dated lava flows provides the possibility to estimate the direction and rates of ecosystem development and can be used to predict future development. We examine plant succession, soil development and soil carbon (C) accretion on the historical (post 874 AD) lava flows formed by the Hekla volcano in south Iceland. Vegetation and soil measurements were conducted all around the volcano reflecting the diverse vegetation communities on the lavas, climatic conditions around Hekla mountain and various intensities in deposition of loose material. Multivariate analysis was used to identify groups with similar vegetation composition and patterns in the vegetation. The association of vegetation and soil parameters with lava age, mean annual temperature, mean annual precipitation and soil accumulation rate (SAR) was analysed. Soil carbon concentration increased with increasing lava age becoming comparable to concentrations found on the prehistoric lavas. The combination of a sub-Arctic climate, gradual soil thickening due to input of loose material and the specific properties of volcanic soils allow for continuing accumulation of soil carbon in the soil profile. Four successional stages were identified: initial colonization and cover coalescence (ICC) of Racomitrium lanuginosum and Stereocaulon spp. (lavas <70 years of age); secondary colonization (SC) – R. lanuginosum dominance (170−700 years); vascular plant dominance (VPD) (>600 years); and highland conditions/retrogression (H/R) by tephra deposition (70−860 years). The long time span of the SC stage indicates arrested development by the thick R. lanuginosum moss mat. The progression from SC into VPD was linked to age of the lava flows and soil depth, which was significantly deeper within the VPD stage. Birch was growing on lavas over 600 years old indicating the development towards birch woodland, the climax ecosystem in Iceland.

Abstract:
Abstract. There has been little research on volcanological aspects of Paraná continental flood basalts (PCFBs), and all investigations have mainly been concentrated on the internal portions of the lava flows. Thus, this study describes for the first time morphological aspects of lava flows and structural characteristics caused by lava–sediment interaction in the northwestern PCFB province (NW-PCFB). Early Cretaceous (134 to 132 Ma) tholeiitic rocks of the PCFB were emplaced on a large intracratonic Paleozoic sedimentary basin (Paraná Basin), mainly covering dry eolian sandstones (Botucatu Formation). As this sedimentary unit is overlain by the basic lava flows of the PCFB, the interaction of lavas and unconsolidated sediments resulted in the generation of fluidal peperites. This aspect is significant because it shows that restricted wet environments should have existed in the Botucatu desert. The peperite zones of the NW-PCFB are associated with compound pahoehoe-type (P-type) flows and are always related to the first volcanic pulses. These flows have dispersed vesicles and sand-filled cracks in their base and top borders, as well as the presence of interlayered sandstones with irregular contacts and varied thicknesses. It is remarkable that, to the best of current knowledge, only in this area of the whole PCFB did the volcanic activity start with low-Ti basalt flows of Ribeira type (TiO2 < 2.3 wt%), which are scarce in the province.

Abstract:
In recent years, high-resolution topographic images from Mars’ surface as well as mineralogical and chemical data, have rapidly become more accessible. Martian volcanic landforms are characterized by giant low slope shield volcanoes, abundant lava flood plains and long lava flows. In-situ rock analysis and remote sensing spectroscopy reveal mainly basaltic compositions with particularly high iron concentrations, distinct from terrestrial basalts. As yet, very little is known about the rheological properties of such iron-rich Martian magmas that are essential to understand magmatic processes. Understanding the chemical and physical contributions to lava rheology is fundamental to provide constraints on magma ascent and lava flow emplacement that shaped the volcanic landforms on Mars. This study provides an experimental investigation of the rheological properties of Martian lavas and discusses the diversity of compositions in terms of lava viscosity / flow morphology relationship. The effect of iron, and its redox state on silicate melt viscosity is experimentally investigated and the viscosities of five synthetic silicate liquids having compositions representative of the diversity of Martian volcanic rocks were measured under controlled ambient oxygen fugacity. The results highlight the low viscosity of the iron-rich Martian melts that is consistent with viscosity values derived from morphological observations. A solidified lava flow on Earth was studied by combining analyses of remote sensing images (as commonly done on Mars), as well as experimental investigations of the rheological properties of the sampled rocks, in order to describe the viscous behavior of lava as emplacement, cooling, and crystallization occur. We show that a cooling-limited basaltic flow seemingly stop flowing when it reaches a critical viscosity value that is function of crystals content and shapes. As a result, the lava apparent viscosity appears to be largely influenced by the details of the crystallization sequence and is not uniquely and simply related to the bulk chemical composition of the erupted material. Variation of the chemical evolution of Martian primary mantle melts through the volcanic history is not large to produce an significant shift of the viscosity range that could be observed them from their morphologies. Low apparent viscosities inferred from lava flow morphology on Mars may in turn be attributed to lavas with primary mantle melt composition crystallizing high proportion of olivine and possibly forming spinifex textures. Higher viscosity values derived from the morphology are compatible with mildly alkaline or trachybasalts and do not necessarily imply the occurrence of silica-rich lavas.
Über die letzten Jahre sind hochauflösende topographische Bilder der Oberfläche des Mars, sowie chemische und mineralogische Daten der Marsgesteine zunehmend verfüg- bar geworden. Die vulkanischen Formationen des Mars beinhalten gigantische Schild- vulkane flacher Ausprägung, grosse Flutbasaltebenen und weitfliessende Lavaströme. In- situ Analysen der Mars Gesteine und “Remote Sensing Spectroscopy“ zeigen grösstenteils basaltische Zusammensetzungen, jedoch mit besonders hohem Eisengehalt, der Mars- gesteine von terrestrischen Proben unterscheidet. Bis dato sind die rheologischen Eigen- schaften dieser eisen-reichen Mars Magmen wenig erforscht. Das Verständnis der physiko- chemischen Parameter, die die Lava Rheologie beeinflussen, ist jedoch fundamental, um Magmaaufstieg und die Ablagerung von Lavaströmen auf dem Mars zu verstehen. In dieser Studie wurden die rheologischen Eigenschaften marsianischer Laven experi- mentell untersucht und die Variabilität der natürlich vorkommenden Zusammensetzungen in Beziehung zu Lava-Viskosität und Lava-Morphologie gesetzt. Der Effekt von Eisen und seines Redox Zustandes auf die Viskosität von Silikatschmelzen wurde experimentell untersucht. Unter kontrollierten Sauerstofffugazitäten wurden die Viskositäten von fünf synthetischen Silikatschmelzen untersucht, deren Zusammensetzun- gen repräsentativ für die Spannbreite der Zusammensetzungen der vulkanischen Gesteine des Mars ist. Die niedrige Viskosität der eisenreichen, marsähnlichen Schmelzen ist kon- sistent mit den Viskositätswerten, die durch morphologische Analysen bestimmt wurden. Als terrestrisches Analog wurde ein erkalteter Lavastrom mit Hilfe von fernerkundlichen Bildern, die in der gleichen Weise für Mars angewendet werden, sowie Messungen der Rheologie an Gesteinsproben dieser Lava untersucht, um Änderungen in der Viskosität während der Ablagerung, des Abkühlens und der Kristallisation zu charakterisieren. Laut unserer Ergebnisse wird ein durch Abkühlen limitierter basaltischer Lavastrom aufgrund von erhöhtem Kristallgehalt und als Funktion von Kristallhabitus gestoppt. Die appar- ente Viskosität scheint daher grösstenteils von der Kinetik der Kristallisatiosnsequenz beeinflusst und weniger von der Gesamtzusammensetzung des eruptierten Materials. Als Folge hätte die Variabilität in der Zusammensetzung der primären, marsianischen Man- telschmelzen über die vulkanische Historie keinen signifikanten Effekt auf die apparente Viskosität, die durch Lava-Morphologie-Analysen bestimmt wird. Niedrige apparente Viskositäten aus diesen Morphologie-Analysen erklären sich dadurch hauptsächlich als Folge von primären Mantelschmelzen, die einen hohen Anteil von Olivin kristallisieren und möglicherweise Spinifex Texturen ausbilden. Wenn Morphologieanalysen höhere Viskositäten ausgeben ist dies kompatibel mit schwach alkalinen Basalten oder Trachy- basalten, bedeutet jedoch nicht notwendigerweise das Vorkommen felsischer Laven.
Ces dernières années, des nouvelles données satellites de la surface de Mars de haute résolution (topographiques ainsi que minéralogiques et chimiques), sont devenues accessi- bles à la communauté scientifique. Sur Mars, les paysages volcaniques sont caractérisés par des volcans boucliers géants à pentes faibles, des plaines de lave et des longues coulées de lave. L’analyse des roches in situ et par spectroscopie orbitale révèlent que la composition des roches est essentiellement basaltique contenant une quantité de Fer particulièrement élevée, clairement distincte des basaltes terrestres. À ce jour, les propriétés rhéologiques des magmas martiens riches en Fer, qui sont essentielles pour comprendre les processus magmatiques, n’ont pas été étudiées en détails. Définir comment la teneur en Fer con- trôle la rhéologie des laves est fondamental pour comprendre l’ascension des magmas et interpréter la mise en place des coulées de lave qui façonnent les paysages volcaniques sur Mars. Cette thèse fournit une étude expérimentale des propriétés rhéologiques des laves martiennes et discute de la diversité des compositions en termes de relation entre viscosité et morphologie des coulées. L’effet du Fer et son état d’oxydo-réduction sur la viscosité des liquides silicatés sont étudiés expérimentalement et les viscosités de cinq laves ayant des compositions représen- tatives de la diversité des roches volcaniques martiennes ont été mesurées en fonction de la température. Les résultats mettent en évidence la faible viscosité de ces liquides martiens riches en fer, ce qui est compatible avec la viscosité déduite des observations morphologiques. Afin de décrire le comportement visqueux d’une coulée de lave pendant sa mise en place (refroidissement et cristallisation), une coulée terrestre a été étudiée, en combinant l’analyse des images de télédétection (comme on le fait sur Mars) et l’étude expérimentale des propriétés rhéologiques des roches échantillonnées. Nous montrons que la forme des coulées basaltiques qui ont cessé d’avancer à cause de leur refroidissement, atteignent une limite rhéologique qui dépend des détails de la séquence de cristallisation et de la forme des cristaux. Leur viscosité apparente n’est pas uniquement et simplement liée à la composition chimique de la lave. Ainsi, l’évolution chimique des liquides pri- maires issus de la fonte partielle du manteau martien à travers l’histoire volcanique de Mars n’a pas d’effet significatif sur la viscosité apparente déterminée par la morphologie des coulées. Les faibles viscosités apparentes déduites de la morphologie des laves sur Mars peuvent être attribuées à des compositions de liquides primaires qui cristallisent des olivines en forte proportion et pouvant former une texture spinifex. Les viscosité plus élevées dérivées de la morphologie sont elles compatibles avec des basaltes légèrement alcalins ou trachytique et n’impliquent pas nécessairement la présence de laves riches en silice de type andésitique.

Abstract:
This thesis presents the results of laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, field work and petrological analysis conducted to study the rheology and dynamics of lava flows. The rheology of suspensions of cubic crystals in viscous liquids was investigated with a series of experiments, consisting of the release of a fixed volume of fluid inside a horizontal channel. A Herschel-Bulkley rheology was assumed and the consistency K and the shear rate exponent n of this constitutive equation were calculated using the evolution of the flow front; the yield strength was calculated using the final shape of the flow. Results show an increase in K when crystal content increases. The mixtures start to show a shear thinning behaviour at 4>-0.3 with n values going from approximately 1 (Newtonian behaviour) to 0.5 at 4>=0.6. Yield strength was detected at the same 4> as the beginning of shear thinning behaviour and increases with a power-law relationship with crystal content. Suspensions with bimodal crystal sizes show a dramatic decrease of the apparent viscosity compared to unimodal suspensions, especially at the higher total crystal concentrations. Further experiments, with the same types of fluids (with approximately Herschel- Bulkley rheology) in a sloping channel with a constant flux rate were approximated with a simplified 2-D model. The results show an excellent agreement between the theory and the experiments. Additionally, experiments with two fluids, where a low viscosity fluid (syrup) is injected in a fixed volume of more viscous material (syrup plus crystals) suggest that the front advance and height is controlled mainly by the rheology of the fixed volume fluid. The simplified 2-D theory was applied to real lava flows. Three dynamical regimes were considered: A Newtonian viscous regime, a yield strength-dominated regime, and a crust-dominated regime. The resulting equations were applied to published data from eruptions of 10 lava flows with a range of compositions and conditions. Comparisons of the fits of the models to the data reveal that short-lived, high effusion rate eruptions typical of Hawaiian lava flows, are dominated by the internal viscosity of the lava, whereas low effusion rate or long lived eruptions are dominated by the yield strength in the growing crust. Finally, eruptions with very high initial crystal contents are dominated by the internal yield strength. The developed rheological model and 2-D theory were applied to the 2002 lava flow deposits at the NE flank of Etna volcano to reconstruct the variations in flow rate and advance of the flow front. Analyses of samples were used to estimate crystal content and liquid viscosity variations with distance. Yield strength variations were estimated from levee width measurements. The modelled flow rate and advance of the flow front compare well with the measured data, with a mean flow rate of 19.5 m3/s. The method developed in this thesis provides the prospect of using measurements of flow dimensions together with analysis of samples from the deposits to estimate the rheology of the flow and reconstruct variations of eruption parameters.

Abstract:
Effusive volcanic eruptions repave landscapes rapidly with lava flows, resetting the underlying landscape and ecosystem. The unique physical properties of lava pose interesting challenges for recovery, as lava flows can be highly permeable while lava itself is dense, sterile, and generally inhospitable towards life. This dissertation examines two aspects of landscape recovery following lava flow emplacement: (1) hydrologic adaptation of surface and groundwater to recent volcanism and (2) plant colonization of young lava flows. I examine two sites in the central Oregon Cascades: the c. 3 ka Sand Mountain volcanic field (SMVF), located in the headwaters of the McKenzie River, a critical water resource for the state of Oregon, and the c. 1.5 ka Collier Cone lava flow, originating on the north flanks of North Sister volcano. My investigation of the SMVF and upper McKenzie River watershed reveals a complex volcanic history with profound impacts on the configuration and short-term discharge of the McKenzie River: lava flows from the SMVF and other Holocene vents have buried, dammed, and altered the path of the McKenzie River. Moreover, given the large groundwater contribution from the SMVF to the McKenzie River, I estimate that SMVF activity caused McKenzie River discharge in present-day Eugene, Oregon to decrease by up to 20% for days to months at a time; future regional mafic volcanic activity could have a similar impact. The SMVF and the Collier Cone lava flow are notable for the juxtaposition of barren exposed lava and mature forests on the same or similarly aged lava flows. I use a combination of LiDAR analysis, field observations, and soil characterization to examine soil and vegetation at these two sites and find that the presence of an external soil source greatly facilitates plant establishment, growth, and survival. Here, external soil sources are syn- or post-eruptive tephra (SMVF) or flood-borne deposits (Collier Cone lava flow). External soil appears to provide a substrate for plants to grow in along with key nutrients and sufficient moisture; overall, external soil sources are key for the initial recovery following an effusive volcanic disturbance. This dissertation includes co-authored material submitted for publication.

Abstract:
Morphometric analysis of lava flows provides crucial information for a better understanding of the processes of lava flow dynamics and emplacement. In this thesis, high-resolution DEMs obtained by the airborne LiDAR system and the UAV-SfM system are used for an extensive morphometric analysis of the Mount Etna (Italy) lava flow. A digital comparison of pre- and post-eruptive LiDAR DEMs of Etna was made to quantify the lava volumes emitted in the 2004-2005, 2005-2006 and 2007-2010 intervals. The erupted volume of 2004-2005 is ~63.3 × 106 m3 entirely emitted by the 2004-05 eruption. The erupted volume of 2005-2007 is ~ 42.0 × 106 m3, of which ~33.5 × 106 m3 emitted by the September-December 2006 eruption. The erupted volume of 2007-2010 is >86 × 106m3, most of which (~74 × 106m3) is formed by the lava flows of the 2008-2009 flank eruption. Lava flow morphometric analysis was performed over LiDAR DEM for eleven channel-fed lava flows through a semi-automatic procedure and using SVF and openness down parameters to better detect and delimit surface-specific elements, i.e. lava levees, base and channel-bed. The results show an inverse relation between slope and channel width, a certain coherence between average slope of levees and pre-emplacing slope, and the same trend between the channel width and channel-bed width. Finally, in order to investigate less costly methods for producing DEMs, we created a high-resolution DEM of the 1974 lava flow using the UAV-SfM system and then we compared it with the LiDAR-derived DEM. The UAV-SfM system can be effectively used to produce topographic data for large areas with an accuracy and resolution that are even higher than those of the LiDAR system. Therefore, the UAV-SfM system can be effectively used to update the topography of active volcanic areas with reasonable costs and short time of deployment.

Abstract:
The study of the behavior of lava flows plays an important role in predicting, preventing and reducing the consequences of volcanic eruptions. Lava has been used as a building material for centuries and has been a source of nutrients for agriculture, but lava flows remain a threat to human activities. The model of spreading of a viscous inhomogeneous incompressible fluid under the action of grav- itational forces is used to describe the lava flow process. The mathematical model is described by the Navier-Stokes equation and the continuity equation with the corresponding initial and boundary conditions. The model takes into account the variable viscosity of the lava, which depends on the volume fraction of crystals. As a spreading surface, we use the generated topography, which is a realistic slope of a mountainous area, formed taking into account natural geological processes. Numerical simulation is carried out using the meshless SPH method. The results of several model cases of lava flows over the surface are presented. Simulation results are visualized using our custom-developed Cinema Science 3D approach. It allows a custom 3D visualization to be programmed using simple CSV file. We used it for presenting our results in a natural view, showing underlying terrain as mesh and lava as points, moving and changing according to time and other computation parameters. This view was enough for achieving visualization aims of our research.

Abstract:
Natural Resource Condition Assessments (NRCAs) evaluate current conditions of natural resources and resource indicators in national park units (parks). NRCAs are meant to complement—not replace—traditional issue- and threat-based resource assessments. NRCAs employ a multi-disciplinary, hierarchical framework within which reference conditions for natural resource indicators are developed for comparison against current conditions. NRCAs do not set management targets for study indicators, and reference conditions are not necessarily ideal or target conditions. The goal of a NRCA is to deliver science-based information that will assist park managers in their efforts to describe and quantify a park’s desired resource conditions and management targets, and inform management practices related to natural resource stewardship. The resources and indicators emphasized in a given NRCA depend on the park’s resource setting, status of resource stewardship planning and science in identifying high-priority indicators, and availability of data and expertise to assess current conditions for a variety of potential study resources and indicators. Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park (hereafter Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau NHP) encompasses 1.7 km2 (0.7 mi2) at the base of the Mauna Loa Volcano on the Kona coast of the island of Hawaiʻi. The Kona coast of Hawaiʻi Island is characterized by calm winds that increase in the late morning to evening hours, especially in the summer when there is also a high frequency of late afternoon or early evening showers. The climate is mild, with mean high temperature of 26.2° C (79.2° F) and a mean low temperature of 16.6° C (61.9° F) and receiving on average 66 cm (26 in) of rainfall per year. The Kona coast is the only region in Hawaiʻi where more precipitation falls in the summer than in the winter. There is limited surface water runoff or stream development at Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau NHP due to the relatively recent lava flows (less than 1,500 years old) overlaying much of the park. Kiʻilae Stream is the only watercourse within the park. Kiʻilae Stream is ephemeral, with occasional flows and a poorly characterized channel within the park. A stream gauge was located uphill from the park, but no measurements have been taken since 1982. Floods in Kiʻilae Stream do occur, resulting in transport of fluvial sediment to the ocean, but there are no data documenting this phenomenon. There are a small number of naturally occurring anchialine pools occupying cracks and small depressions in the lava flows, including the Royal Fishponds; an anchialine pool modified for the purpose of holding fish. Although the park’s legal boundaries end at the high tide mark, the sense of place, story, and visitor experience would be completely different without the marine waters adjacent to the park. Six resource elements were chosen for evaluation: air and night sky, water-related processes, terrestrial vegetation, vertebrates, anchialine pools, and marine resources. Resource conditions were determined through reviewing existing literature, meta-analysis, and where appropriate, analysis of unpublished short- and long-term datasets. However, in a number of cases, data were unavailable or insufficient to either establish a quantitative reference condition or conduct a formal statistical comparison of the status of a resource within the park to a quantitative reference condition. In those cases, data gaps are noted, and comparisons were made based on qualitative descriptions. Overall, the condition of natural resources within Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau NHP reflects the surrounding landscape. The coastal lands immediately surrounding Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau NHP are zoned for conservation, while adjacent lands away from the coast are agricultural. The condition of most natural resources at Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau NHP reflect the overall condition of ecological communities on the west Hawai‘i coast. Although little of the park’s vegetation...
