AGU Session 2010: V09 Dynamics of Pyroclastic Density Currents
From: Ben Andrews <andrews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
************************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw announce and invite submissions to the Fall AGU session:
V09: Dynamics of Pyroclastic Density Currents
Conveners: Benjamin Andrews (UC Berkeley) and Josef Dufek (Georgia Institute of Technology)
Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) encompass a range of physical processes from dense granular flows to dilute, turbulent multiphase flows. These flows can travel great distances, generate buoyant plumes, have broad grain size distributions, and display a range of interactions with their beds. This session is intended to promote a multidisciplinary discussion incorporating information from depositional studies, experiments, numerical models, and geophysical approaches. We hope for contributions that discuss: 1) current transport and what eruption parameters govern transport; 2) transfer of heat, mass, and momentum within the current, to the ground, and to coignimbrite plumes; 3) effects of landscape and topography; 4) depositional processes.
Abstract submissions are scheduled to open on 21 July and close on 2 September. Please check the AGU website (http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm10/) for
updates.
Best wishes,
Ben and Joe
