Inverting sediment bedforms for evaluating the hazard of dilute pyroclastic density currents in the field

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Pyroclastic density currents are ground hugging gas-particle flows associated to explosive volcanic eruptions and moving down a volcano's slope, causing devastation and deaths.

The Relative Effectiveness of Empirical and Physical Models for Simulating the Dense Undercurrent of Pyroclastic Flows under Different Emplacement Conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2017
High concentration pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are hot avalanches of volcanic rock and gas and are among the most destructive volcanic hazards due to their speed and mobility.

Pyroclasts of the first phases of the explosive-effusive PCCVC volcanic eruption: physicochemical analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The morphology, texture, grain size and other physicochemical characteristics of pyroclastic material from the first phases of the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanic complex (PCCVC) eruption, (Southern Andes, Chile), can be associated to the model recently ...

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

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2021
AbstractOn 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 cm wavelength ...

Numerical Simulation of Pyroclastic Flow of Karangetang Volcano Based on 2015 Eruption Activity

open access: yesJGEET: Journal of Geoscience, Engineering, Environment and Technology
On May 7-9, 2015 the eruptive activity of Mount Karangetang released pyroclastic flows towards the Batuawang River for 3.6 km and hit Kora kora village which is located south of the Main Crater. This pyroclastic flow originated from lava flows during the

A new infrared volcano monitoring using GCOM-C (SHIKISAI) satellite: applications to the Asia-Pacific region

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2020
The GCOM-C (SHIKISAI) satellite was developed to understand the mechanisms of global climate change. The second-generation global imager (SGLI) onboard GCOM-C is an optical sensor observing wavelengths from 380 nm to 12.0 μm in 19 bands.

Reconciling pyroclastic flow and surge: the multiphase physics of pyroclastic density currents [PDF]

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2002
Two end-member types of pyroclastic density current are commonly recognized: pyroclastic surges are dilute currents in which particles are carried in turbulent suspension and pyroclastic flows are highly concentrated flows. We provide scaling relations that unify these end-members and derive a segregation mechanism into basal concentrated flow and ...

Observations and modelling of soil slip-debris flow initiation processes in pyroclastic deposits: the Sarno 1998 event [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2003
Pyroclastic soils mantling a wide area of the Campanian Apennines are subjected to recurrent instability phenomena. This study analyses the 5 and 6 May 1998 event which affected the Pizzo d’Alvano (Campania, southern Italy).

Volcanic Generation of Tsunamis: Two New Zealand Palaeo-Events [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Rapid emplacement of a mass via pyroclastic flows, or edifice failure, generates volcanic tsunamis. Physical modelling demonstrates that the efficiency of tsuna-mi generation is influenced by the angle the mass enters the ocean.

Geomorphological Classification of Monogenetic Volcanoes and Its Implication to Tectonic Stress Orientation in the Middle Atlas Volcanic Field (Morocco)

open access: yesLand, 2022
The Middle Atlas Volcanic Field (MAVF) covers an area of 1500 km2, with a total erupted volume of solid products (e.g., Dense Rock Equivalent or DRE) estimated to be more than 80 km3.
