DESCRIPTION:World wide\, unconstrained lava flows kill people 
 almost each year and cause extensive damage\, cost
 ing millions of pounds.\n\nDefending against lava 
 flows is possible by using topographic variations 
 sensibly\, placing buildings considerately\, const
 ructing defending walls of appropriate size and th
 e like.\n\nHinton\, Hogg and Huppert have recently
  published two rather mathematical papers outlinin
 g how viscous flows down slopes \ninteract with a 
 variety of geometrical shapes\; evaluating\, in pa
 rticular\, the conditions under which “dry zones” 
 form – safe places for people and belongings – and
  the size of a protective wall required to defend 
 a given size building.\n\nFollowing a desktop expe
 rimental demonstration\, we will discuss these ana
 lyses and their consequences.\n
