| Outline and Purpose of the Course | A volcanic eruption is a phenomenon in which underground magma is erupted to the surface of the earth, causing volcanic disasters due to various factors. After introducing many volcanic disaster cases in Japan and overseas, the diversity of volcanic disasters is explained. In addition, the flow mechanism of pyroclastic flow, lava flow and debris flow will be lectured. Basic mitigation measures for volcanic disasters are mainly evacuation. It also describes measures to reduce volcanic disasters such as evacuation. | ||
| Course Goals | Understand the diversity of volcanic disasters, their occurrence mechanisms, and mitigation measures. Disaster mitigation measures can be considered based on volcano observation data. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
Intensive lectures will be given on the following issues. 1. Examples of volcanic disasters in Japan (Nakamichi) 2. Examples of volcanic disasters in the world (Nakamichi) 3. Prediction of volcanic ash and ballistic bombs (Iguchi) 4. Lava flow prediction (Iguchi) 5. Pyroclastic flow prediction (Iguchi) 6.
