Dune bedforms produced by dilute pyroclastic density currents from the August 2006 eruption of Tungurahua volcano, Ecuador. [PDF]
Bull Volcanol, 2013 A series of pyroclastic density currents were gen- erated at Tungurahua volcano (Ecuador) during a period of heightened activity in August 2006. Dense pyroclastic flows were confined to valleys of the drainage network, while dilute pyroclastic density ...

Patterns of deposition from experimental turbidity currents with reversing buoyancy [PDF]
, 2010 Turbidity currents are turbulent, sediment-laden gravity currents which can be generated in relatively shallow shelf settings and travel downslope before spreading out across deep-water abyssal plains.
