ERUPT

ERUPT is a graphical program that simulates various volcanic eruption types, including Strombolian, Plinian, Vulcanian pyroclastic flows and surges, Hawaiian fluid lava flows, fumarolic activity, and Pelcean viscous lava dome emplacement.

Tectonic (faulting), caldera and sector collapse, and erosional events are also simulated. In addition to a greater variety of eruption types, virtual 3-D with topographic and geological maps, and a greatly enhanced user interface, Erupt offers the user a built-in updater with web-access and features that make it a much more robust teaching and research tool.
