Eruption and emplacement timescales of ignimbrite super-eruptions from thermo-kinetics of glass shards

Eruption and emplacement timescales of ignimbrite super-eruptions from thermo-kinetics of glass shards

Super-eruptions generating hundreds of cubic kilometres of pyroclastic density currents are commonly recorded by thick, welded and lava-like ignimbrites. Despite the huge environmental impact inferred for this type of eruption, little is yet known about the timescales of deposition and post-depositi...
