DESCRIPTION:World wide\, unconstrained lava flows kill people almost each 
 year and cause extensive damage\, costing millions of pounds.\n\nDefending
  against lava flows is possible by using topographic variations sensibly\,
  placing buildings considerately\, constructing defending walls of appropr
 iate size and the like.\n\nHinton\, Hogg and Huppert have recently publish
 ed two rather mathematical papers outlining how viscous flows down slopes 
 \ninteract with a variety of geometrical shapes\; evaluating\, in particul
 ar\, the conditions under which “dry zones” form – safe places for p
 eople and belongings – and the size of a protective wall required to def
 end a given size building.\n\nFollowing a desktop experimental demonstrati
 on\, we will discuss these analyses and their consequences.\n
