The Tongariro Volcanic Centre (TgVC) is a complex volcanic system located at the southern end of the Taupo Volcanic Zone in New Zealand, and has produced historical explosive eruptions of different eruptive styles. Its three ski fields and its iconic...

The 1974 West Flank Eruption of Mount Etna: A Data-Driven Model for a Low Elevation Effusive Event. (2020)
Journal Article
Lormand, C., Harris, A., Chevrel, M., Calvari, S., Gurioli, L., Favalli, M., …Nannipieri, L. (2020). The 1974 West Flank Eruption of Mount Etna: A Data-Driven Model for a Low Elevation Effusive Event. Frontiers in Earth Science, 8, Article 590411. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2020.590411

Low elevation flank eruptions represent highly hazardous events due to their location near, or in, communities. Their potentially high effusion rates can feed fast moving lava flows that enter populated areas with little time for warning or evacuatio...

Slow Ascent of Unusually Hot Intermediate Magmas Triggering Strombolian to Sub-Plinian Eruptions (2020)
Journal Article
Lormand, C., Zellmer, G., Kilgour, G., Nemeth, K., Palmer, A., Sakamoto, N., …Moebis, A. (2020). Slow Ascent of Unusually Hot Intermediate Magmas Triggering Strombolian to Sub-Plinian Eruptions. Journal of Petrology, 61(10), https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egaa077

To assess whether magma ascent rates control the style of volcanic eruption, we have studied the petrography, geochemistry and size distribution of microlites of plagioclase and pyroxene from historical eruptions from Tongariro, Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe...
