Krakatau, a volcanic island in Indonesia, killed more than 30,000 people when it erupted in 1883. One might assume that ...
Magmatic intrusions, eruptions and flank collapses are frequent processes of volcano dynamics, inter-connected at different space and time scales. The December 2018 recrudescent episode at Mt. Etna is ...
Twenty years ago, when strangers would ask Hermann Fritz about his job and he told them he was a tsunami expert, he got plenty of quizzical looks in response. "The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake changed ...
