Lahar hazard zones for eruption-generated lahars in the Lassen Volcanic Center, California

Geologic field-trip guide to the Lassen segment of the Cascades Arc, northern California

“…Robinson and Clynne (2012) presented details and modeling of lahar hazards, and Nathenson and others (2012) analyzed eruption probabilities. The average recurrence interval for regional mafic volcanism is 1,550 years, whereas the average recurrence interval for the Lassen Volcanic Center is 7,150 years.…”

Sixth International Limnogeology Congress: field trip guidebook, Reno, Nevada, June 15-19, 2015

“…During the May 1915 eruption, lahars occurred in the upper watershed and reached the headwaters of Manzanita Creek (Clynne and Muffler, 2010;Robinson and Clynne, 2012). On May 24, 1915, eyewitnesses climbed up towards Loomis Peak on the northwestern flank of Lassen Peak.…”

Runout and deposit morphology of Bingham fluid as a function of initial volume: implication for debris flow modelling

“…One of the key input parameters for hazard assessment is the volume of flow-type landslides, and in fact, the potential volume of past events is commonly used as a measure of event magnitude (Davies 1982;Legros 2002;Chang et al 2011, among others). Initial landslide volume can be estimated by different methodologies depending on the mathematical description selected, with hydrological, geomorphological or both kind of features taken into account (Gartner et al 2008;Marchi et al 2010;Chang et al 2011;Friedel 2011;Tsai et al 2011;Robinson and Clynne 2012;Rocco et al 2012). Other authors including Yoshida and Sugai (2007) or Santi and Morandi (2013) propose measuring and simplifying the deposit dimensions using common methods such as truck remobilization or field observations (thickness, sediment width, and flow-path length).…”
