A bedform phase diagram for dense granular currents (2020)
Journal Article
Smith, G., Rowley, P., Williams, R., Giordano, G., Trolese, M., Silleni, A., …Capon, S. (2020). A bedform phase diagram for dense granular currents. Nature Communications, 11, Article 2873. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-16657-z

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are a life-threatening volcanic hazard. Our understanding and hazard assessments of these flows rely on interpretations of their deposits. The occurrence of stratified layers, cross-stratification, and bedforms in... Read More about A bedform phase diagram for dense granular currents.

Velocity profiles in sedimenting pyroclastic density currents (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Rowley, P., Smith, G., Williams, R., & Parsons, D. (2020, January). Velocity profiles in sedimenting pyroclastic density currents. Paper presented at Volcanic and Magmatic Studies Group, Plymouth, UK

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 the... Read More about Velocity profiles in sedimenting pyroclastic density currents.

Generating long period and tremor-like seismicity without fluids in volcanic materials (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Rowley, P., Benson, P., & Bean, C. (2020, January). Generating long period and tremor-like seismicity without fluids in volcanic materials. Poster presented at Volcanic and Magmatic Studies Group, Plymouth, UK

Volcano seismicity is routinely used in the remote monitoring and forecasting of activity at volcanoes around the world. The nature of this seismicity varies, but long period (LP) seismicity is generally interpreted as an indicator of fluid migration...
