Rift Development, Tectonic Forcings, and Magmatic Feedbacks at Santorini and Kolumbo Volcanoes Constrained by Scientific Drilling and Core‐Seismic Integration

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Volcanism in continental rifts, rifted volcanic arcs, and back‐arc basins is fundamentally coupled with crustal extension. However, the precise geometry and timing of the fault systems that facilitate magma transport and accommodate extension remain poorly constrained.

Processes and deposits of submarine sediment density flows within the Moroccan turbidite system, offshore NW Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Submarine sediment density flows are a major process for transporting sediment from the continental shelf to the deep-ocean. Understanding submarine flow dynamics relies upon analysis of their deposits (beds) because monitoring them directly is difficult.

Generation of a debris avalanche and violent pyroclastic density current on 26 December 1997 (Boxing Day) at the Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat

open access: yes, 2002
Growth of an andesitic lava dome at Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat, beginning in November 1995, caused instability of a hydrothermally altered flank of the volcano.

Submarine deposits from pumiceous pyroclastic density currents traveling over water: An outstanding example from offshore Montserrat (IODP 340) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Pyroclastic density currents have been observed to both enter the sea, and to travel over water for tens of kilometers. Here, we identified a 1.2-m-thick, stratified pumice lapilli-ash cored at Site U1396 offshore Montserrat (Integrated Ocean Drilling ...

The magnitude and impact of the Youngest Toba Tuff super-eruption

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2014
Super-eruptions, orders of magnitude larger than eruptions experienced in historic times, have devastated wide areas by pyroclastic flows, covered continent-size areas by ash fallout, and injected large quantities of aerosols into the stratosphere ...

First Direct Observations of Internal Flow Structures in a Powder Snow Avalanche: Turbulence, Instability and Particle Distribution

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Powder snow avalanches are highly dynamic, multiphase gravity‐driven flows typically composed of a dense basal layer overlain by airborne layers in which snow particles are suspended within a turbulent air phase. Despite extensive work on related systems such as pyroclastic density currents and turbidity currents, all gravity current studies ...

CHAPTER 4.4 Pyroclastic Density Currents

open access: yes
Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are hot mixtures of gases and volcanic rock of diverse size, nature, or density, capable of flowing over long distances at velocities of tens to hundreds of kilometers per hour. They typically originate from the gravitational collapse of explosive eruption columns, lava domes or lava-flow fronts, unstable upper-flank

Syn-Depositional deformation of a substrate produced by the shear force of a pyroclastic density current: An example from the Cimino Ignimbrite, Northern Lazio, Italia

open access: yes, 2006
Substrate deformation by pyroclastic density currents is very sparsely described in the literature. The rare occurrence of syn-depositional substrate deformation suggests that special circumstances are required to transmit shear from the base of a ...
