MOLA Constraints on Lava Flow Rheologies

MOLA data allow us to distinguish the nature of a viscosity change in the presence of degassing. For a 35 km flow in Elysium we conclude that the viscosity increased exponentially at least 50 times, compared to only 10 times if no degassing occurs. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.

Pressure Distribution in Inflated Lava Flows

There has been considerable debate regarding the role of inflation in terrestrial and planetary lava flow emplacement. We used a tumuli growth model to estimate the pressure within Hawaiian lava flows to better understand inflation processes. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
