A size classification for debris flows 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
A 10-fold classification for debris flow size is proposed based on total volume, peak discharge and area inundated by debris. Size classes can be used for regional overview studies where detailed site investigations are either unnecessary, too costly or where the highest hazard and risk creeks need to be identified for further study. They are also useful to compare the regional impact between affected areas and the effects of rainstorms, and they allow lay-people to obtain an understanding of debris flow magnitude and consequences. Finally, different size classes allow the estimation of travel times to points of interest based on empirically derived equations. It is proposed that agencies concerned with debris flows should establish a documentation of debris flow size according to this classification, which serves as a data base for hazard and risk planning. 相似文献

Formation and failure of volcanic debris dams in the Chakachatna River valley associated with eruptions of the Spurr volcanic complex, Alaska 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Christopher F. Waythomas 《Geomorphology》2001,39(3-4)
The formation of lahars and a debris avalanche during Holocene eruptions of the Spurr volcanic complex in south-central Alaska have led to the development of volcanic debris dams in the Chakachatna River valley. Debris dams composed of lahar and debris-avalanche deposits formed at least five times in the last 8000–10,000 years and most recently during eruptions of Crater Peak vent in 1953 and 1992. Water impounded by a large debris avalanche of early Holocene (?) age may have destabilized an upstream glacier-dammed lake causing a catastrophic flood on the Chakachatna River. A large alluvial fan just downstream of the debris-avalanche deposit is strewn with boulders and blocks and is probably the deposit generated by this flood. Application of a physically based dam-break model yields estimates of peak discharge (Qp) attained during failure of the debris-avalanche dam in the range 104<Qp<106 m3 s−1 for plausible breach erosion rates of 10–100 m h−1. Smaller, short-lived, lahar dams that formed during historical eruptions in 1953, and 1992, impounded smaller lakes in the upper Chakachatna River valley and peak flows attained during failure of these volcanic debris dams were in the range 103<Qp<104 m3 s−1 for plausible breach erosion rates.Volcanic debris dams have formed at other volcanoes in the Cook Inlet region, Aleutian arc, and Wrangell Mountains but apparently did not fail rapidly or result in large or catastrophic outflows. Steep valley topography and frequent eruptions at volcanoes in this region make for significant hazards associated with the formation and failure of volcanic debris dams. 相似文献

The edifice of Stromboli volcano gravitationally collapsed several times during its volcanic history (>100 ka–present). The
largest Holocene event occurred during the final stage of the Neostromboli activity (∼13–5 ka), and was accompanied by the
emplacement of phreatomagmatic and lahar deposits, known as the Secche di Lazzaro succession. A stratigraphic and paleomagnetic
study of the Secche di Lazzaro deposits allows the interpretation of the emplacement and the eruptive processes. We identify
three main units within the succession that correspond to changing eruption conditions. The lower unit (UA) consists of accretionary
lapilli-rich, thinly bedded, parallel- to cross-stratified ash deposits, interpreted to indicate the early stages of the eruption
and emplacement of dilute pyroclastic density currents. Upward, the second unit (UB) of the deposit is more massive and the
beds thicker, indicating an increase in the sedimentation rate from pyroclastic density currents. The upper unit (UC) caps
the succession with thick, immediately post-eruptive lahars, which reworked ash deposited on the volcano’s slope. Flow directions
obtained by Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) analysis of the basal bed of UA at the type locality suggest a provenance
of pyroclastic currents from the sea. This is interpreted to be related to the initial base-surges associated with water–magma
interaction that occurred immediately after the lateral collapse, which wrapped around the shoulder of the sector collapse
scar. Upward in the stratigraphy (upper beds of UA and UB) paleoflow directions change and show a provenance from the summit
vent, probably related to the multiple collapses of a vertical, pulsatory eruptive column. 相似文献

Application of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery to volcano mapping in the humid tropics: a case study in East Java, Indonesia 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

Volcanoes in humid tropical environments are frequently cloud covered, typically densely vegetated and rapidly eroded. These
factors complicate field and laboratory studies and even the basic identification of potentially active volcanoes. Numerous
previous studies have highlighted the potential value of radar remote sensing for volcanology in equatorial regions. Here,
cloud- and vegetation-penetrating LHH-band (λ≈24 cm) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (JERS-1) are used to investigate
persistently active volcanoes and prehistoric calderas in East Java, Indonesia. The LHH-band JERS-1 SAR produces high-spatial-resolution (18 m) imagery with relatively high incidence angle that highlights structures
and topographic variations at or greater than the wavelength scale while minimising geometrical distortions such as layover
and foreshortening. These images, along with Internet browse data derived from the Canadian RADARSAT mission, provide new
evidence relating regional tectonics to volcanism throughout East Java. Volcanic events, such as caldera collapse at the Tengger
caldera, appear to have been partly controlled by northwest-aligned faults related to intra-arc sedimentary basins. Similar
regional controls appear important at historically active Lamongan volcano, which is encircled by numerous flank maars and
cinder cones. A previously undocumented pyroclastic sheet and debris avalanche deposit from the Jambangan caldera complex
is also manifested in the synoptic radar images. At the currently active Semeru volcano these data permit identification of
recent pyroclastic flow and lahar deposits. Radar data therefore offer a valuable tool for mapping and hazard assessment at
late Quaternary volcanoes. The criteria developed in the analysis here could be applied to other regions in the humid tropics.

A numerical model is used to simulate channelized lahars, flowing with a near-constant sediment concentration and volume. Water and debris are usually mobilized in short times and the peak discharge of lahars may reach many thousands of cubic meters per second in a few minutes. A relation for the energy dissipation term must be provided in the model, which in turn depends on debris flow rheology and shape and status of channel bed. A discussion of the form of this term is performed through the simulation of some historical (among the well-documented) lahars and lahar-runout flows with concentrations ranging in a wide spectrum up to 70 percent by volume and irregularly shaped sand and coarser particles dispersed in a fluid matrix of water and fine material. As concentration increases and turbulence decreases, the dissipative term, which, in the first case, is proportional to the square average flow velocity (Manning or Chezy formulation) is well described by a linear dependence on flow velocity, as expected in the laminar case. The numerical reproduction of the examined historical cases suggests that the model can be used for hazard assessment, if some hypotheses are made about lahar hydrograph at the source, its volume, and the shape of the dissipative term. 相似文献

Cotopaxi volcano (Ecuador) is famous for production of large-scale laharsthrough melting of ice and snow on its summit glacier. The lahar hazard inthe northern valleys of the volcano is assessed through numerical simulationof a maximum expected event. Considerations of past activity suggest that anevent like that of the 1877 eruption is the maximum expected lahar event.Review of the historical records reveals that northerly flowing lahars initiallyfollowed the Rio Pita and Rio Salto; at ``La Caldera', owing to a sharp bendin the channel, the lahar partly overflowed into Rio Santa Clara. The laharsalong Rio Pita and Rio Santa Clara were conveyed to the Los Chillos valley.The simulation, using an initial flow volume of 60 × 106 m3reproduces the maximum heights reached by the 1877 lahar along the northernvalley. The volume of lahar triggered by an eruption similar to that of 1877 isestimated to have a volume about 2/3 of that of 1877. This hypothesized reductionof volume is attributed to shrinkage of the summit glacier over the past century.However, dramatic population growth along valleys exposed to lahar hazard overthe past 100 years makes the present risk from lahars higher than in the past. Thesharp bend of ``La Caldera' represents a crucial site controlling lahar propagation:should a lahar overflow into the Santa Clara valley the risk increases considerablydue to the much higher concentration of human settlements along the valley. Resultsof a lahar simulation in which the entire flow is artificially forced into Rio Pita suggestthat construction of a dyke at ``La Caldera' to prevent overflow would substantiallyreduce the general risk in the area. 相似文献

Luminescence dating has been applied to scoria and lahar deposits from Somma–Vesuvius, Italy. Samples include scoria from the AD472 and 512 (or 536) eruptions and lahar deposits. In order to find a stable luminescence signal which is less affected by anomalous fading, infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signals at elevated temperatures after bleaching with IR at 50 °C (termed post-IR IRSL; pIRIR) were tested at different preheat and elevated stimulation temperatures. The fading rates of both IRSL and pIRIR signals reduced dramatically with increasing preheat and pIRIR stimulation temperatures. A pIRIR signal measured at 290 °C after a preheat at 320 °C (60 s) and an IR stimulation at 50 °C (100 s) was selected to calculate the equivalent dose (De). The gamma spectrometry results indicate that the U-series nuclides are not in equilibrium and there is a large 226Ra excess. The dose rates and ages were calculated by assuming a 226Ra excess (over its parent 230Th) at deposition, and that this unsupported excess then decayed to the present level. The resulting luminescence ages of the two scoria samples agreed with the expected ages, and the ages of the lahar deposits indicate that they are associated with the AD1631 eruption. 相似文献

Travel times for wet volcanic mass flows (debris avalanches and lahars) can be forecast as a function of distance from source
when the approximate flow rate (peak discharge near the source) can be estimated beforehand. The near-source flow rate is
primarily a function of initial flow volume, which should be possible to estimate to an order of magnitude on the basis of
geologic, geomorphic, and hydrologic factors at a particular volcano. Least-squares best fits to plots of flow-front travel
time as a function of distance from source provide predictive second-degree polynomial equations with high coefficients of
determination for four broad size classes of flow based on near-source flow rate: extremely large flows (>1 000 000 m3/s), very large flows (10 000–1 000 000 m3/s), large flows (1000–10 000 m3/s), and moderate flows (100–1000 m3/s). A strong nonlinear correlation that exists between initial total flow volume and flow rate for "instantaneously" generated
debris flows can be used to estimate near-source flow rates in advance. Differences in geomorphic controlling factors among
different flows in the data sets have relatively little effect on the strong nonlinear correlations between travel time and
distance from source. Differences in flow type may be important, especially for extremely large flows, but this could not
be evaluated here. At a given distance away from a volcano, travel times can vary by approximately an order of magnitude depending
on flow rate. The method can provide emergency-management officials a means for estimating time windows for evacuation of
communities located in hazard zones downstream from potentially hazardous volcanoes.

Lahars are hazardous events that can cause serious damage to people who live close to volcanic areas; several were registered at different times in the last century, such as at Mt St Helens (USA) in 1980, Nevado del Ruiz (Colombia) in 1985 and Mt Pinatubo (Philippines) in 1990. Risk maps are currently used by decision‐makers to help them plan to mitigate the hazard‐risk of lahars. Risk maps are acquired based on a series of tenets that take into account the distribution and chronology of past lahar deposits, and basically two approaches have been used: (1) The use of Flow Simulation Software (FSS), which simulates flows along channels in a Digital Elevation Model and (2) The Geochronological Method (GM), in which the mapping is based on the evaluation of lahar magnitude and frequency. This study addresses the production of a lahar risk map using the two approaches (FSS and GM) for a study area located at Popocatépetl volcano – Central Mexico. Santiago Xalitzintla, a town located on the northern flank of Popocatépetl volcano, where volcanic activity in recent centuries has triggered numerous lahars that have endangered local inhabitants, has been used for the case study. Results from FSS did not provide satisfactory findings because they were not consistent with lahar sediment observations made during fieldwork. By contrast, the GM produced results consistent with these observations, and therefore we use them to assess the hazard and produce the risk map for the study area. 相似文献

Six large Late Miocene to Quaternary calderas, > 10 km in diameter, cluster together with several medium to small calderas and stratovolcanoes in a 60 × 30 km area of the Aizu volcanic field, southern NE Japan arc. These caldera volcanoes were built on a WNW–ESE trending highland coincident with a local uplifted swell since Late Miocene. The flare-up of felsic volcanism occurred synchronously along the NE Japan arc. Pyroclastic flow sheets from the calderas spread over the surrounding intra-arc basins and are interstratified with various sediments. Geochronological data indicates that the large-caldera eruptions have occurred six times since 8 Ma, at intervals of 1 to 2 million years. Late Miocene to Early Pliocene extra-caldera successions in the basin consist of nine sedimentary facies associations: (1) primary pyroclastics, (2) lahars, (3) gravelly fluvial channels, (4) sandy fluvial channels, (5) floodplains, (6) tidal flats, (7) delta fronts, (8) pro-delta slopes, and (9) pro-delta turbidites. The distribution of facies associations show westward prograding of volcaniclastic aprons, made up of braid delta, braidplain, pyroclastic flow sheet, and incised braided river deposits. The extra-caldera successions record: 1) an increase in felsic volcanism with an associated high rate of volcaniclastic sediment supply at about 10 Ma, prior to catastrophic caldera-forming eruptions; and 2) progradation of volcaniclastic aprons toward the back-arc side in response to the succeeding caldera-forming eruptions and sea-level changes, until about 3 Ma. 相似文献
