- Abstract:
- This project aims to investigate triggering conditions and aspects of flow rheology in lahars from a multi-disciplinary standpoint. A high density network of 10 tipping bucket rainfall logging systems and 3 acoustic flow metres will be deployed over 9km2 to accurately measure rainfall intensity and lahar activity, respectively. The sedimentological (grainsize, composition) and geotechnical (infiltration, shear strength) properties of the lahars and the source area sediments will be measured. This unique dataset will produce a physically-based predictive mathematical model of the triggering and behaviour of lahars and will enhance our ability to predict lahar deposition.
