Explore cutting-edge research on pyroclastic flows and deposits in this nearly 2-hour conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting. Delve into topics including modeling dilute pyroclastic density currents, analyzing deposits from the 2008 Chaitén volcano eruption, examining transport mechanisms in hot dry eruptions, and observing the dynamics of the 2010 Soufrière Hills flow. Learn about new mobility metrics, experimental observations of granular flows, substrate entrainment processes, and pyroclastic hazard assessments. Gain insights from invited talks and research presentations covering theoretical, observational, experimental, and applied aspects of pyroclastic phenomena across various volcanic systems.
