Physical properties of pyroclastic density currents: relevance, challenges and future directions

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are hazardous and destructive phenomena that pose a significant threat to communities living in the proximity of active volcanoes. PDCs are ground-hugging density currents comprised of high temperature mixtures of pyroclasts, lithics, and gas that can propagate ki...
