DOI: 10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2017.06.026
Abstract: Abstract Recent casualties in volcanic eruptions due to trauma from blocks and bombs necessitate more rigorous, ballistic specific risk assessment. Quantitative assessments are limited by a lack of experimental and field data on the vulnerability… read more here.
