This project will elucidate the complex dynamics that control the cooling rates and advance rates of lava flows. It will result in improved hazard assessments for volcanic areas around the world affected by the advance of lava flows, including many Pacific islands and most countries around the Pacific Rim. The project will also provide a quantitative understanding of thermal erosion in lava channels, which will help explain the formation and location of major ore deposits of nickel, copper and platinum in Western Australia and elsewhere around the world.

该项目将阐明控制熔岩流冷却速率和前进速率的复杂动力学。 这将改善对世界各地受熔岩流推进影响的火山地区的危险评估，包括许多太平洋岛屿和环太平洋地区的大多数国家。该项目还将提供对熔岩通道热侵蚀的定量了解，这将有助于解释西澳大利亚州和世界其他地方镍、铜和铂主要矿床的形成和位置。
