Studies In Planetary Volcanology
Modeling and field studies of the potential for flowing lavas to erode the terrain over which they pass: this study involved numerical solutions for the heat transfer, and analysis of lava flows on Earth where erosion appears to have taken place, coupled with observations of active flows in Hawaii....
