• Lake-floor sediment texture and composition of a hydrothermally-active, volcanic lake, Lake Rotomahana 

  Pittari, Adrian; Muir, S.L.; Hendy, Chris H. (Elsevier, 2016)

  Young volcanic lakes undergo a transition from rapid, post-eruptive accumulation of volcaniclastic sediment to slower pelagic settling under stable lake conditions, and may also be influenced by sublacustrine hydrothermal ...

  

• Eruption and emplacement of the 1.3-Ma Ongatiti Ignimbrite, New Zealand: Regional pathways, particle processes, and pumice evolution associated with a large-volume pyroclastic flow deposit 

  Yousef Zadeh, Elham (The University of Waikato, 2020)

  Pyroclastic flows are the most devastating phenomena of explosive volcanic eruptions. These hazardous density currents are able to travel several tens of kilometers radially away from their source as fast, hot density ...
