Permian Large Igneous Provinces and Their Paleoenvironmental Effects
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Vegetation dieback as a proxy for temperature within a wet pyroclastic density current: A novel experiment and observations from the 6th of August 2012 Tongariro eruption [PDF]
The 6th of August 2012 eruption of Te Maari (Mt Tongariro, New Zealand) generated wet pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) which caused widespread dieback of vegetation (singed, brown foliage) in their path.

Generation of Overspill Pyroclastic Density Currents
Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are composed of hot gas and glass like ash or rocks. They can be very mobile, flowing over obstacles with ease but their pathway is often controlled by the topography they flow over. When a PDC is confined to valley it increases the distance it can travel but the PDC can overflow from the valley unexpectedly ...

Construction of probabilistic event trees for eruption forecasting at Sinabung volcano, Indonesia 2013-14 [PDF]
Eruptions of Sinabung volcano, Indonesia have been ongoing since 2013. Since that time, the character of eruptions has changed, from phreatic to phreatomagmatic to magmatic explosive eruptions, and from production of a lava dome that collapsed to a ...
