Lunar Domes
Author: Raffaello Lena
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 8847026377
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Lunar domes are structures of volcanic origin which are usually difficult to observe due to their low heights. The Lunar Domes Handbook is a reference work on these elusive features. It provides a collection of images for a large number of lunar domes, including telescopic images acquired with advanced but still moderately intricate amateur equipment as well as recent orbital spacecraft images. Different methods for determining the morphometric properties of lunar domes (diameter, height, flank slope, edifice volume) from image data or orbital topographic data are discussed. Additionally, multispectral and hyperspectral image data are examined, providing insights into the composition of the dome material. Several classification schemes for lunar domes are described, including an approach based on the determined morphometric quantities and spectral analyses. Furthermore, the book provides a description of geophysical models of lunar domes, which yield information about the properties of the lava from which they formed and the depth of the magma source regions below the lunar surface.

Volcano Instability on the Earth and Other Planets
Author: Bill McGuire
Publisher: Geological Society of America
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
A study which reveals active volcanoes to be dynamically evolving structures, the growth and development of which are punctuated by episodes of instability and subsequent structural failure. Edifice failure and consequent debris avalanche formation appears to occur, on average, at least four times a century, and similar behaviour is known to have occured at volcanoes on Mars and Venus. The book claims that hazard-mitigation strategies must now address the possibility of future collapse events which may be ten-times greater than that at Mount St Helens in 1980.
