Overview of Chaitén Volcano, Chile, and its 2008-2009 eruption

open access: yesAndean Geology, 2013
Chaitén Volcano erupted unexpectedly in May 2008 in one of the largest eruptions globally since the 1990s. It was the largest rhyolite eruption since the great eruption of Katmai Volcano in 1912, and the first rhyolite eruption to have at least some of ...

The Magnitude of the 39.8 ka Campanian Ignimbrite Eruption, Italy: Method, Uncertainties and Errors

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The calculation of the magnitude of an eruption needs the accurate estimate of its deposit volume. This is particularly critical for ignimbrites as no methods for their volume calculations and associated errors and uncertainties are consolidated in the ...

Simply pyroclastic currents

open access: yes, 2017
Gravity-driven, ground-hugging gas-pyroclast mixtures produced during explosive volcanic eruptions define a full spectrum of particle concentration, flow regime and particle support mechanisms.

Contribution of fine ash to the atmosphere from plumes associated with pyroclastic density currents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A co-pyroclastic density current (co-PDC) plume forms as a mixture of fine-grained (

New insights into the Upper Pleistocene directed blast eruption, Popocatépetl volcano, México

open access: yesVolcanica
Volcanic eruptions of the directed blast type are characterized by powerful explosions with a significant lateral pyroclastic density current (PDC) component that can travel at speeds above 100 m s–1 and affect hundreds of square kilometers around a ...

Investigation of variable aeration of monodisperse mixtures: implications for pyroclastic density currents [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of Volcanology, 2018
The high mobility of dense pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) is commonly attributed to high gas pore pressures. However, the influence of spatial and temporal variations in pore pressure within PDCs has yet to be investigated. Theory suggests that variability in the fluidisation and aeration of a current will have a significant control on PDC flow ...

Volcanic Ash Resuspension in Patagonia: Numerical Simulations and Observations

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
Resuspension of pyroclastic deposits occurs under specific atmospheric and environmental conditions and typically prolongs and exacerbates the impact associated with the primary emplacement of tephra fallout and pyroclastic density current deposits.

Physical and morphological characterization of the 19 May 2021 ash cloud deposit at Stromboli (Italy)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
We report on the ash cloud related to the gravitational collapse of a portion of the Stromboli volcano crater rim that occurred on 19 May 2021. The collapse produced a pyroclastic density current (PDC) that spread along the northwest flank of the volcano

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)

open access: yesPerspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...
