Analysis of lava flow impacts for use in risk assessments by Meredith, Elinor Siwan

“…The findings show a recent increase in recorded impact events, and that these events occur more frequently than previously thought, with almost three impact events, to population centres, per decade in the past 100 years. With the collected empirical building-level data, I found all structures were destroyed at >6 m lava thickness, while there was a range of damage severity at <6 m lava thickness, dependent on structure type. …”
