Pyroclastic density currents and local topography as seen with the conveyer model

15 Apr 2014 | Contributor(s): Domenico M. Doronzo

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are multiphase flows generated during explosive volcanic eruptions, and they move down the volcano, and over the surrounding topography. The flow-topography interaction can play a fundamental role in the sedimentary processes, and in the resulting deposit...

20 Jan 2014 | Contributor(s): Seb Biass, Costanza Bonadonna

NOTE The code is now maintained on GitHub: https://github.com/e5k/TOTGS Follow updates on: https://e5k.github.io/  Quantifying the total grainsize distribution (TGSD) is a necessary step to achieve a thorough characterization of a given tephra deposit. Several methods exist to...

Tephra 2014 - Maximizing the potential of tephra for multidisciplinary science

09 Jan 2014 | Contributor(s): Steven Kuehn, Solene Pouget, Marcus I Bursik

Tephra deposits are used by diverse communities: volcanologists, petrologists, tephrochronologists, paleoclimatologists, paleoecologists and archaeologists. To perhaps be too reductionist, volcanologists are generally interested in tephra to understand eruption behavior, frequency, and hazards;...
