Forensic Profiling Analogue Approach for the Investigation of Natural Hazards – A Case Study from Onokoba Elementary School, Unzen Volcano, Japan

open access: yesForum Geografi, 2021
Internal temperature variations of pyroclastic flows and their deposits are arguably the most challenging data to acquire. As a preliminary study of the temperature variation inside pyroclastic flows, the remains of Onokoba Elementary School (Shimabara ...

Abrasion in pyroclastic flows [PDF]

open access: yesGeologische Rundschau, 1992
The relative size of glass rims coating crystals in the matrix ash provides a semi-quantitative measure of abrasion of ash grains in pyroclastic flows. Median abrasion indices (= areacrystal / areaglass rim) are 8.4 to 18.5 in Laacher See pyroclastic flow units but only 4 to 6.3 in assocciated fallout, showing stronger abrasion of ash particles in the ...

Evolution Magmatism of Nagasari Volcano Dieng, Central Java, Indonesia

open access: yesJGEET: Journal of Geoscience, Engineering, Environment and Technology, 2022
Nagasari Volcano, part of the Dieng volcanic complex, is one of the unique volcanoes in Central Java. Around this volcano grow eruption craters, volcanic cones, and pyroclastic flow ridges. There were several 14 eruption centers around Mount Nagasari, so

The Arequita Formation (Lower Cretaceous): Petrographic features of the volcanic facies In the Laguna Merín Basin, east Uruguay

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Sedimentology and Basin Analysis, 2021
The southeastern border of the Laguna Merín Basin (Rocha Department, East Uruguay) consists of Mesozoic volcanic deposits of the Puerto Gómez and Arequita formations, overlain by a sedimentary cover of Cenozoic and recent deposits.

A Unifying Model for Pyroclastic Surge Genesis and Pyroclastic Flow Fluidization

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
AbstractPyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are hot and fast ground‐hugging mixtures of volcanic fragments and gases, which represent a major threat to people living near explosive volcanoes. Mechanisms causing the separation into the concentrated (the pyroclastic flow) and dilute (the pyroclastic surge) layers, as well as the mechanism causing their ...

The impact of pyroclastic density currents duration on humans: the case of the AD 79 eruption of Vesuvius

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Pyroclastic density currents are ground hugging gas-particle flows that originate from the collapse of an eruption column or lava dome. They move away from the volcano at high speed, causing devastation.

Dynamics and Impacts of the May 8th, 1902 Pyroclastic Current at Mount Pelée (Martinique): New Insights From Numerical Modeling

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The Mount Pelée May 8th, 1902 eruption is responsible for the deaths of more than 29,000 people, as well as the nearly-complete destruction of the city of Saint Pierre by a single pyroclastic current, and is, sadly, the deadliest eruption of the 20th ...

Modeling the Dynamics of Dense Pyroclastic Flows on Venus: Insights Into Pyroclastic Eruptions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2021
Abstract On Venus, relatively young deposits near volcanic and coronal summits with unique radar characteristics have been proposed to be emplaced by pyroclastic density currents (PDCs). The proposed units are laterally extensive, long‐runout deposits showing moderate to high radar backscatter and circular polarization ratio in 12.6 ...

A Confidence-Based Assessment Method for Distinguishing Pyroclastic Density Current Deposits From Other Volcaniclastic Units

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are a destructive volcanic hazard. Quantifying the types, frequency and magnitudes of PDC events is essential for effective risk management, but since historical records at best extend a few hundred years this usually ...
