Velocity profiles in sedimenting pyroclastic density currents

Rowley, Peter; Smith, Greg; Williams, Rebecca; Parsons, Dan

Abstract

Pyroclastic density currents pose a threat to life at active volcanoes around the world, and mitigation of their impacts requires a better understanding of their complex flow behaviours. Understanding the internal dynamics of these flows, and how their propagation behaviours link to sedimentary processes is a critical link in tying process observation to interpretation of existing deposits, and hence the development of improved risk models.
