Magma Transport Dynamic Lab and SING Lab Singapore Infrasound Group

The research focuses on the early anticipation of the style and size of volcanic eruptions and models for understanding ash dispersal.

Data collected will be integrated with physics-based models of magma migration to get quantitative values for key physical parameters controlling the eruption style and anticipate the style and size of eruptions to come.
