Lava dome with volume
The Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) has about 300 silicic lava domes and coulees, emplaced over the last 500 000 years. In comparison with
scoria cones (F
., 2012), the syn-erup ve morphometry of lava domes is much more diverse due to the greater variability in
the physical and chemical proper es of the erup ng magmas. The shape of a growing lava dome is influenced mostly by the viscosity of
the erup ng melt, the inclina on of the pre-erup on surface and erosive processes, such as collapses, but other factors have an
influence, such as magma yield strength, cooling rates, degassing processes, effusion rates and the dura on of the erup on (H
., 2014; Y
, 2005). The TVZ provides an ideal loca on for the geomorphological characterisa on and classifica on of lava
domes. Domes related to the TVZ caldera system are generally aligned and clustered around the NE-trending fault system, and are
distributed across a number of volcanic centres of varying ages. The extractable morphometric parameters (slope angles, edifice
volume, elonga on of the volcanic edifice and its orienta on) together define the morphometry of the lava domes, which clearly
reflects both the syn-erup ve (e.g. the viscosity of the magma, explosive behaviour during of dome growth, dome collapsing) and the
post-erup ve processes such as faul ng, erosion, valley incision and degree of mantling.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
We mapped the volcanic structures of the TVZ (Fig 1.) using DEM derivates (eg. slope, aspect) of a Digital Eleva on Model with 8 m
resolu on, 1:250K geological maps of New Zealand and the 1:50K geological map of Okatania Volcanic Centre. The 8 m DEM was
primarily derived from contour lines with 20 m intervals (LINZ Topo50). The spa al accuracy is within ±22 metres horizontally and
within ±10 metres ver cally. For GIS analyses we used ESRI ArcGIS 10 and Golden So ware Surfer 10 so wares. We precisely delimited
the lava domes based on the morphological parameters of the surface. As a result we could calculate the dome parameters, such as
area, height, average slope, volume, circularity and orienta on. In this study we used the averaged ages of the ages are given on the
1:250K geological maps (Fig. 7d). In the first stage, we have applied the Height/Diamater ra o to evaluate the lava domes within the
TVZ (B
, 1990) (Fig. 4). Finally, we inves gated the slope and eleva on distribu ons of the domes (Fig. 3), and we determined the
height posi on of the steepest slopes for individual lava dome edifices (Fig. 6).

Two morphometric classifica ons exist for lava domes. The first one was carried
out by B
(1990) based on field observa ons and laboratory experiments, and has
been dis nguished four types of lava domes (Upheaved plugs, Peléan domes, Low lava
domes and Coulees) by the height versus diameter ra o of the edifice. We have reviewed
those results and we found three important circumstances about the inves gated Peléan
domes; the volcanoes produced lava domes are located in volcanic arcs, all the domes
were piled up above a central vent of a composite volcano; and there was no lava dome
with rhyoli c chemical composi on. The other classifica on was based on improved
laboratory experiments, field observa ons and photographic analyses (F
G
,
1998). The classifica on schemes grouping the lava domes into four types (spiny, lobate,
platy, and axisymmetric) that eventually relates to erup on condi ons, the morphology
and the surface texture of the dome, and the thickness of the forming carapace. Their
study did not provide any quan fiable data about morphometrical parameters of the
dis nc ve classes. GIS-based morphometric characteriza on of 29 worldwide lava domes
was carried out by K
., (2013) with the aim of rela ve da ng of lava domes
using slope angles. Since K
. (2013) did not classify the examined domes, thus
rela ve ages are tenta ve as long as it is presumable, that condi ons during dome growth
are reflected on the slope angles and posi on of the steepest slopes too. The lava domes
within the TVZ have o en complex morphology, therefore do not fit into Blake`s
classifica on (Fig. 4). Thus we tried to find a new method for classifica on, namely we
examined the loca ons of the steepest slopes as a func on of rela ve eleva on (Fig. 6).
We believe, steepest slopes posi on reflects the differences of viscosity and magma yield
strength during emplacement, however it can be modified by erosion.

4 and 5). These histograms show mul ple modes, here we interpreted these modes due to erup ve processes, such as number of extrusion phases (numbers in yellow). In
contrast, the coulees (Tarawera Eastern Dome and Te Horoa) are characterized by only one lava erup on should show a con nuous values with low rela ve frequency of the
steepest heights. each peak belongs to one erup on, Steep slopes are also generated by faults and river incision a er the dome emplacement, thus the effected areas with
external factors should be eliminated.

We examined the morphology of lava domes in the Taupo Volcanic Zone using DEMs and DEM derivates. We obtained various
morphometric parameters such as edifice volume, edifice height, average and maximum slope (Fig. 7). In comparison with other
studies (K
, 2013), our slope data show significantly higher values for maximum slopes (average max slope for
323 TVZ edifice is 43.1 degree). The height and diameter ra os do not fit to the regression lines specified by B
(1990), which can
be par ally explained by the complex emplacement history and post-emplacement burial and erosion of domes in the TVZ. The exis ng
lava dome classifica ons can be taken into account with doubt or cannot be used for comparison with real data. TVZ’s dome
morphologies show complex, some mes polygene c evolu on, which could be demonstrated by the defini on of the height posi ons
of steepest slopes (Fig. 6). The height distribu on clearly shows the number of dis nct lava erup ons or the changes in magma yield
strength during the emplacement. We presume, that the lava domes can be characterized by higher viscosity and lower yield strength,
the steepest slopeswill be located at the upper third of rela ve height due to the debris flows of the talus apron do not allow steeper
slope than 30-40 degrees (F
M
, 1990). Contrary, steepest slopes at the lower third of the rela ve height of the dome
indicate lower magma viscosity, and probably the rela vely fast-cooling, bri le part (talus) will provide the steepest slopes with similar
values like apron at viscous domes. Based on morphology, we can dis nguish the two extremes: ver cally growing and laterally growing
domes (coulees).

Volumes: For precise calcula ons it is essen al to obtain the borders and the total height
of the edifices. Using our raw data we could only provide minimum volumes or surficial
volume in many cases. 40% of the edifice volumes are less than 0.1 km³.
Dome circularity and orienta on: There are two significant peaks of the circularity
distribu on. The lower peak at 0.55 which is the manifesta on of the tectonically
influenced fissure orienta ons. The orienta ons of the dome elonga on are parallel with
the extensional axis of the TVZ (Fig 1a).
Average slopes: At this stage of the research we could only provide average slopes for all
the edifices, but the results clearly show the effects of faults in the distribu on. At the
inves ga on of individual edifices we eliminate these effects and others like river incision.
Age of the domes: First approxima on of the average ages from geological maps, allows
us to make a rough es ma on on the temporal distribu on of the domes. We found
5 periods, when the majority of the domes were formed: 0-25ka, 55-80ka, 150-170ka,
195-230ka and 320-340ka. Compared the average ages with average slopes we found a
slightly decreasing trend of slope angles with me.
