SUMMARY:Fluid Dynamics of Volcanic Ash Transport - Dr Jeremy Phillips (Sch
 ool of Earth Sciences\, University of Bristol)
DTSTART:20190208T130000Z
DTEND:20190208T140000Z
UID:TALK117631@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Amélie Lamarquette
DESCRIPTION:Explosive volcanic eruptions produce fragmented volcanic rocks
 \, known as volcanic ash\, which constitutes one of the most widespread vo
 lcanic hazards\, and can be transported and deposited on international sca
 les. Volcanic ash has impacts on infrastructure\, agriculture\, transport 
 and human health. In this talk\, I will describe the fluid dynamics of ash
  transport from source to deposit\, and introduce some key features of vol
 canic processes and ash deposits. I will focus particularly on recent adva
 nces in modelling the transport of volcanic ash in the atmosphere\, includ
 ing fundamental insights into ash cloud dispersion\, and operational appro
 aches for assessing ash hazard to aviation.
