FRACTAL EPISODICITY OF GREAT EXPLOSIVE ERUPTIONS ON KAMCHATKA DURING HOLOCENE

Is the temporal structure of the sequence of volcanic eruptions uniform/Poissonian, clustered/episodic or cyclic/periodic? This question is interesting in itself, and crucial for understanding the impact of volcanoes on human habitat and climate. Over the geological time scale, the temporal characte...

Description
Summary:Is the temporal structure of the sequence of volcanic eruptions uniform/Poissonian, clustered/episodic or cyclic/periodic? This question is interesting in itself, and crucial for understanding the impact of volcanoes on human habitat and climate. Over the geological time scale, the temporal character of volcanism is known to
