Inflated pyroclasts in proximal fallout deposits reveal abrupt transitions in eruption behaviour

Jones et al. identify a new type of volcanic deposit, inflated pyroclasts, that form by continued gas expansion post-deposition. They show how these deposits can be indicative of abrupt transitions in eruptive behaviour at mafic volcanoes.
