A stress-controlled mechanism for the intensity of very large magnitude explosive eruptions [PDF]
Large magnitude explosive eruptions are the result of the rapid and large-scale transport of silicic magma stored in the Earth's crust, but the mechanics of erupting teratonnes of silicic magma remain poorly understood.

ASHEE: a compressible, equilibrium-Eulerian model for volcanic ash plumes [PDF]
A new fluid-dynamic model is developed to numerically simulate the non-equilibrium dynamics of polydisperse gas-particle mixtures forming volcanic plumes. Starting from the three-dimensional N-phase Eulerian transport equations for a mixture of gases and

Impact of volcanism on the sedimentary record of the Neuquén rift basin, Argentina: towards a cause and effect model [PDF]
The analysis of volcano-sedimentary infill in sedimentary basins constitutes a challenge for basin analysis and hydrocarbon exploration worldwide. In order to understand the contribution of volcanism to the sedimentary record in rift basins, we study the

First in-situ observation of a moving natural pyroclastic density current using Doppler radar
Pyroclastic density currents are one of the most devastating volcanic hazards. Understanding their dynamics is a key to develop successful hazard mitigation strategies.

Caldera-forming eruptions represent extremely hazardous events. The Loch Bà Caldera on the Isle of Mull, NW Scotland, preserves an ~120 m thick sequence of Palaeogene silicic pyroclastic rocks and collapse breccias.

Distal occurrence of mid-Holocene Whakatane Tephra on the Chatham Islands, New Zealand, and potential for cryptotephra studies [PDF]
The Whakatane Tephra, a rhyolitic tephra erupted ca. 5500 cal. BP from Okataina Volcanic Centre, central North Island, has been identified on the Chatham Islands which lie ˜900 km east of Christchurch, New Zealand.

Holocene volcanism at the Quetrupillán Volcanic Complex (39°30’ S, 71°43’ W), southern Chile
This paper provides the first detailed description of Holocene volcanism at the Quetrupillán Volcanic Complex. This volcanic complex consists of a truncated and eroded stratocone plus sixteen well-preserved satellite vents on its lower flanks.

A rhinocerotid skull cooked-to-death in a 9.2 Ma-old ignimbrite flow of Turkey. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Preservation of fossil vertebrates in volcanic rocks is extremely rare. An articulated skull (cranium and mandible) of a rhinoceros was found in a 9.2±0.1 Ma-old ignimbrite of Cappadocia, Central Turkey.
