2018 NSF Large Scale Experiment Workshop on Volcanic Blasts

A collection of datasets which were recorded at the 2018 NSF Large Scale Experiment Multiblast workshop on volcanic hazards. The workshop aimed to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and improve field-scale testing of monitoring methods and models. The workshop had 47 participants from US-based and international institutions. Read some more details in this EOS article or a full manuscript which is currently in review.

ATTENTION: This dataset is UNDER CONSTRUCTION. It is close to, but not absolutely complete. We will publish version 1.0 once the accompanying manuscript has been approved for publication.

All data is provided in several zip archives, and small files containing metadata and descriptions. Large data chunks are separated into 'pads' (1–4), which refer to the four experiments that were performed. The archives contain a folder structure, which should allow for compatible extractions, so that archives can be downloaded to a common local folder (e.g. using a script) and extracted there without running into file name conflicts.

Parts of This Dataset

• Coordinates & Positions:
  Coordinates and Locations of Blast Charges, Sensors etc.

• Elevation Data of Craters:
  Elevation data were created from photographs taken right after charge detonations. The 3D-data was derived in a standard photogrammetry software (Metashape™). This data was then rasterized and imported into ArcGIS, and is provided here. Fine adjustments were made to better match reference locations of the available site coordinate system.

• Ejecta Data:
  TODO

• Airborne Pressure Data:

• Seismo-Acoustic Data:
  TODO

• Video Material:
  Six or more cameras for each pad. Read the video_readme.pdf for details about camera locations and types.

Changes

• v0.1:
  First batch of main data.
