Constraining the dynamics of volcanic eruptions by characterization of pumice textures

We have characterized the textures of pumice clasts from Phlegraean Fields to gain insights into the conduit
 flow-dynamics of alkaline explosive eruptions. Vesicularities, vesicle number densities, and vesicle sizes and
 shapes were measured to obtain the bulk and groundmass propert...
