Laying the foundations of the first digital twin of a volcanic plumbing system
Annotation in Czech
Our objective is to use the approach of complex system science to build the first integrated and interconnected model of volcanic plumbing systems. Volcanoes are underlaid by a complex network of magmatic bodies, sills, and dykes. In such complex systems, behaviours emerge from non-linear interactions between the different components. We propose to explore those emergent behaviours by building a graph that models volcanic plumbing systems as a networks of nodes and links. To reach our objective, we will (1) build a database of characteristics of volcanic plumbing systems to provide input for the graph; (2) develop new mathematical and numerical models of the magma bodies that are the nodes of the systems and of their interactions with dykes that are the links; (3) build the graph and explore how the topology of the magmatic network affects the pattern of volcanic activity. We aim at using the graph as a digital twin to model case studies and test conceptual models. It will be then made available to the community for further developments, and for research and education applications.
