Lava flow research focuses on the study of the behavior, characteristics, and impacts of moving lava as it flows from a volcanic eruption. This research area examines factors such as flow velocity, temperature, composition, and viscosity to better understand how lava moves across the landscape, interacts with the environment, and affects surrounding communities. Researchers use a combination of field observations, remote sensing techniques, and laboratory experiments to study lava flows and develop models to predict their behavior and potential hazards. Understanding lava flow dynamics is essential for improving volcano monitoring, hazard assessment, and risk mitigation efforts in volcanic regions.
