Photonics Contributes to Lava Flow Study
Jul 1, 1998 — Among the many attractions of the Hawaiian Islands, perhaps the most intriguing are its volcanoes. Tourists are drawn by their beauty and by the danger that lies within. But these mountains, formed by the accumulation of molten rock, can become a threat to lives and homes without warning. Lava flow temperatures averaging 1150 °C were detected using the FieldSpec FR at this erupting volcano. Courtesy of P. Mouginis-Mark. Luke Flynn at the University of Hawaii's Institute of Geophysics...
