IMEX_SfloW2D 1.0: a depth-averaged numerical flow model for pyroclastic avalanches [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2019 Pyroclastic avalanches are a type of granular flow generated at active volcanoes by different mechanisms, including the collapse of steep pyroclastic deposits (e.g., scoria and ash cones), fountaining during moderately explosive eruptions, and crumbling ...

Analysis of Optical Satellite Images and Pyroclastic Flow Inundation Model for Monitoring of Pyroclastic Flow Deposit Area [PDF]
Korean Journal of Remote Sensing, 2014 Field survey research on damages caused by volcanic activities has plenty of difficulties due to human resources, safety and costs issues. Remote sensing application using satellite image is one of very useful tools to overcome those issues. In this study, we monitored the volcanic activities of Sinabung volcano in 2010, which is located in Sumatra ...

Dynamics of pyroclastic density currents : : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Earth Sciences at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2016 Listed in 2016 Dean's List of Exceptional ThesesPyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are the most dangerous mass flows on Earth. Yet they remain poorly understood because internal measurements and observations are hitherto non-existent.

Floristic Composition of Groundcover Vegetation after the 2010 Pyroclastic Fire on Mount Merapi
Jurnal Manajemen Hutan Tropika, 2013 Mount Merapi with its Merapi-type pyroclastic flows provides burnt and unburnt areas which are excellent to study establishment events of pioneer plant species. Using site comparison approach, floristic composition was studied, and thus an area that was
