Sedimentation and mobility of PDCs: a reappraisal of ignimbrites’ aspect ratio
Abstract The aspect ratio of ignimbrites is a commonly used parameter that has been related to the energy of the parent pyroclastic density currents (PDCs). However this parameter, calculated as the ratio between the average thickness and the average lateral extent of ignimbrites, does not capture f...
