IMEX_SfloW2D 1.0: a depth-averaged numerical flow model for pyroclastic avalanches [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific 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 ...

Numerical simulation of pyroclastic density currents on Campi Flegrei topography: a tool for statistical hazard estimation.

open access: yes, 2004
We describe a numerical simulation of both concentrated and dilute gravity-driven pyroclastic flows on a digital topographic model of the Campi Flegrei volcanic field.

Post-eruptive flooding of Santorini caldera and implications for tsunami generation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The Bronze Age eruption of Santorini is known to have generated tsunamis with caldera collapse as the likely mechanism. However, new bathymetric and seismic data presented by Nomikou et al.

Floristic Composition of Groundcover Vegetation after the 2010 Pyroclastic Fire on Mount Merapi

open access: yesJurnal 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

High Potash Volcanic Rocks and Pyroclastic Deposits of Damavand Volcano, Iran, an Example of Intraplate Volcanism [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2017
Damavand is a fascinating dormant stratovolcano, 60 km to the ENE of Tehran located in the Alborz Mountains. Damavand volcanic products consist of lava flows and pyroclastic fall, flow and surge deposits from different eruption cycles. The volcanic rocks

Topography and Volcanology of the Huangtsuishan Volcano Subgroup, Northern Taiwan

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2010
Combining the shaded relief topography model and the slope map from the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) images, toporaphical map, field occurrences and petrography, the volcanic sequences of the Huangtsuishan Volcano Subgroup (HVS) can be constructed.

Geotechnical Properties of Two Pyroclastic Deposits Involved in Catastrophic Flowslides for Implementation in Early Warning Systems

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
Air-fall pyroclastic deposits on steep slopes in Campania (Southern Italy) are periodically subjected to rainfall-induced landslides that may evolve into catastrophic flowslides.

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.

Pyroclastic Flow Deposits and InSAR: Analysis of Long-Term Subsidence at Augustine Volcano, Alaska

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
Deformation of pyroclastic flow deposits begins almost immediately after emplacement, and continues thereafter for months or years. This study analyzes the extent, volume, thickness, and variability in pyroclastic flow deposits (PFDs) on Augustine ...

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)

open access: yesPerspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...
