Abstract:Can fractal analysis of a lava flow's margin enable classification of the lava's morphologic type (e.g., pāhoehoe)? Such classifications would provide insights into the rheology and dynamics of the flow when it was emplaced. The potential to classify lava flows from remotely-sensed data would particularly benefit the analysis of flows that are inaccessible, including flows on other planetary bodies. The technique's current interpretive framework depends on three assumptions: (1) measured margin fractality is s… Show more
