Figure 4: Estimates of cumulative ice melting via conduction as a function time.

From: Propagation style controls lava–snow interactions

Figure 4

Cumulate curves for 1 m thick (blue circles) and 3 m thick (red circles) lavas are based on integrated, linear approximations of instantaneous melting rates7. Shaded green box shows estimated cumulative thicknesses of snow melted and time-scales of melting beneath Tolbachik lava flows for comparison.
