Physical volcanology
Current Research
A volcanic eruption is one of the most dynamic geological phenomena which happen at the earth surface. I investigate the dynamics of volcanic dynamics and try to estimate conditions at the volcanic vent and in the magma chamber.
I focus on the following topics.
* Which parameter controls the generation of pyroclastic flows.
* How high do volcanic plumes rise up?
* How far do volcanic ashes deposit on the ground?
To understand these, I develop numerical models and perform large numerical simulations in super-computing systems.
