Between a rock and a simulated space: Lava inundation probabilityJulie Herrick
"The combination of geologic field mapping and geospatial methods allowed us to demonstrate the probability of lava flow inundation for an important location on the N flank of Mauna Loa. We focused on the 2.5 x 5.5 km area from radial vents, rift zones, and the summit crater that encompasses the NOAA weather station (MLO). Field investigations conducted in 2005 determined that 30 unique geologic units cross this study area and originated from the summit, radial vents, and the NERZ. We combined two DEM-based simulation models to provide a detailed examination of lava flow paths with the purpose of developing a hazard assessment for the NOAA facility. Two GIS computer software programs (BASIN1 and VORIS) were used to analyze the digital terrain based on a 10 m DEM in order to outline possible inundation zones. The advantage of the BASIN1 results is that they provide clear delineations of the flow network. Subsequently, preliminary inundation zones were drawn based on model results. Additional information provided by VORIS defines the probability of each flow network branch being inundated. By overlapping the inundation zones with the map of inundation probability within a 50-year time interval, it is clear that the NOAA Facility should not be affected by lava flows originating from the NERZ. The main threats are from lavas originating from the western edge of Moku`aweoweo and the potential formation of radial vents."

that is associated with broad upwarping of the overlying lithosphere (figure 5.1 iA). As a result, the lithosphere is stretched, causing the brittle crustal rocks to break into large slabs. As the tectonic forces continue to pull the crust apart, these crustal fragments sink, generating an elongated depression called a continental rift (figure 5.1 ib).
A modern example of an active continental rift is the East African Rift (figure s. i 2). Whether this rift will eventually result in the breakup of Africa is a topic of continued research. Nevertheless, the East African Rift is an excellent model of the initial stage in the breakup of a continent. Here, tensional forces have stretched and thinned the crust, allowing molten rock to ascend from the mantle. Evidence for recent volcanic activity includes several large volcanic mountains including Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, the tallest peaks in Africa. Research suggests that if rifting continues, the rift valley will lengthen and deepen, eventually extending out to the margin of the landmass (r;<;ur.E 5.1 ic). At this point, the rift will become a narrow sea with an outlet to the ocean. The Red Sea, which formed when the Arabian Peninsula split from Africa, is a modern example of such a feature. Consequently, the Red Sea provides us with a view of how the Atlantic Ocean may have looked in its infancy (figure 5.1 id).

Forces Within sSWHBe Plate Tectonics
New lithosphere is constantly being produced at the oceanic ridges; however, our planet is not growing larger—its total surface area remains constant. A balance is maintained because older, denser portions of oceanic lithosphere descend into the mantle at a rate equal to seafloor production. This activity occurs along convergent (con = together, vergere = to move) boundaries, where two plates move toward each other and the leading edge of one is bent downward, as it slides beneath the other.
Convergent boundaries are also called subduction zones, because they are sites where lithosphere is descending (being subducted) into the mantle. Subduction occurs because the density of the descending tectonic plate is greater than the density of the underlying asthenosphere. In general, oceanic lithosphere is more dense than the asthenosphere, whereas continental lithosphere is

Ras Muhammad Marine National Park is located on faulted and uplifted Neogene blocks that are
partially covered by Quaternary limestones of predominantly coralgal facies. The physiography of the
reefal limestone cropping out in the area and also the present-day depositional environments are
tectonically controlled. Surface morphology observations show that earthquake pools that cut through the
uplifted Pleistocene reefs indicate continuing recent movements, as indicated by numerous records of
seismic activity in the study area. The morphostructural-generated depositional facies patterns on the
peninsula are a wide tidal belt with tidal shoals and coastal spits, barrier and fringing reefs, three
elongated embayments, Hiddan Bay, mangrove and tidal channels, Ras Muhammad pool and sabkha, and
earthquake pools (two earth fissures). The distribution of marine plants is described for each area. The
abundance of algae in Ras Muhammad appeared to be inversely related to the abundance of living corals.
Gigantic submarine landslides are among the most energetic events on the Earth surface. During the
Late Pleistocene the Mediterranean Sea was the scenario of a 9 number of such events, some of whose
geological fi ngerprints are the 500 km3 mass transport deposit SL2 at the Nile delta fan (dated at ca. 110
ka BP) and the Herodotus Basing Megaturbidite (HBM, a 400 km3 deposit dated at ca. 27.1 ka BP). This
paper presents an exploratory study on the tsunamigenic potential of these slides by using a numerical
model based on the 2D depth-averaged non-linear barotropic shallow water equations.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

dykes injection that occur along ocean ridge axes.
Start in 1971.
As theory of sea floor spreading and plate tectonic being
accepted.
Right time plate are generate ( oceanic ridge).
Area of study:
Small segment of Mid-Atlantic Ridge, southwest Azores.
Boundary between African and American plate.
Reason this area chosen:
Aeromagnetic survey show clear central magnetic anomaly.
Not far from port of Ponta Delgada .
A series of bathymetric survey carried out to produce maps.
On maps (Figure 4.5), transform fault can be seen.
Figure 4.6Inner rift floor is 2.5km depth and contain small hills
such as Mount Venus and Mount Pluto.
3. TECHNIQUE.
Almost every marine geological and geophysical
was used.
Many technique not for marine studies and had to
be modified for FAMOUS project.
4. NAVIGATION SYSTEM.
High precision required cause navigation problem
become acute.
Solved by:
By develop acoustic navigation system.
Used acoustic transponder placed on sea floor and
linked to ship and submersible.
Equipment proved adaptable.
Can be used with other instrument packages that
towed near sea-floor.
5. SIDE-SCAN SONAR.

Ease the manned submersible survey.
Submersible designed with titanium hull for it work
under high pressure.
Various sampling devices added:
One arm manipulator pick specimen.
Bag to collect loose sediment.
10. INTERPRETATION OF FAMOUS
DATA…
Assumption…
The features on the topographic map is the result of
volcanism.
Thus, each hill-like feature should have volcanic
vents at or near the top and flow direction radiating
from it.
11. EVOLUTION OF THE RIFT-VALLEY
FLOOR…
Figure 4.15 and 4.16 shows the successive stages
in the formation of 2 – 3 km wide strips of new
oceanic crust either side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
during the last 200,000 years.
The process are consistent with a (half) spreading
rate of 1 - 2cm per year.
12. EVOLUTION OF THE RIFT-VALLEY
FLOOR…
The frequency of volcanic events varies
appreciably. By the time it was built up, each
volcano would be underlain by a swarm of dykes
emanating from the magma chamber beneath.
Subsided and rifting process occurred. Rifts mostly
form beside either to the east or the west of each
volcano. Each new phase of volcano-building
develops about the latest rift. New volcanoes will
take up space so the older volcanoes are move
aside to accommodate them.
13. EVOLUTION OF THE RIFT-VALLEY
FLOOR…
About 100,000 years old, the volcanic hills are
sufficiently far from the axis to be uplifted by faults
which mostly dip inwards from the walls.
After 200,000 years, the volcanoes heave been
upfaulted completely out of the valley floor to the
tops of the walls.
