Description

The threat of a major collapse/landslide from a volcanic cone is a primary hazard of concern in the Tongariro National Park. The geologic record at Ruapehu and Tongariro volcanoes shows that past debris flows (lahars) have often contained a high proportion of alteration products. The present flanks of volcanoes in the Tongariro National Park have several hydrothermally altered zones that could be sources of future collapses. The purpose of this study was to assess the overall extent of altera...
