Presentation Transcript

  1. University of Geneva - UNIGE Unit of volcanology and geological risk • Research: • Physical volcanology • Characterization of tephra deposits and sedimentation • Particle characterization (e.g., size, textures, morphology) • Experimental volcanology for particle sedimentation, granular flows and magma degassing • Modelling of tephra dispersal • Probabilistic hazard assessments • Vulnerability and risk assessments • Teaching and training: • Postgraduate specialization certificate in geological and climate related risk (CERG-C) • Master in geological risk

  2. University of Geneva - UNIGE Unit of volcanology and geological risk ONGOING PROJECTS • Fond National Swiss related projects: • Lattice-Boltzmann jet and plume modelling for validation of infrasonic signal (collaboration with UNIFI) • Hazard and vulnerability assessment of tephra fallout associated with Hekla, Askja and Eyjafjallajökull , including compilation of hazard maps for both ground load (using TEPHRA2) and atmospheric concentration (using FALL3D) (collaboration with UI and BSC) • Experimental investigations of settling velocity and aggregation of volcanic particles (vertical wind tunnel) • European projects and networks: • MeMoVolc ESF research network - Measuring and Modelling Volcano Eruption Dyamics 2011-2016 • NEMOH FP7 Initial Training Network - Numerical, Experimental and stochastic Modelling of vOlcanic processes and Hazard 2012-2016

  3. University of Geneva - UNIGE • FUTUREVOLC • WORK PACKAGE 4 Evaluation of known ESP • MS27 Probability density functions of ESP for selected key volcanoes included in the Catalogue (month 18) • WORK PACKAGE 7 Determination and evolution of ESP • D7.3 Tephra detector (month 14) (leader: ITEM) • D7.5 Grainsize distribution analysis from the tephra fallout instrument system in real time (month 36) (leader: ITEM) • MS65 Prototype of the tephra fallout detector completed, measuring apparent TGSD and fallout rate (month 18) (leader: ITEM) • MS75 A netrwork of 10 tephra fallout detectors deployed in the field (month 30) (leader: ITEM) • WORK PACKAGE 8 Distribution and description of eruptive products (UNIGE mainly involved in strategies for TGSD)
