Experimental constraints on volcanic ash generation and clast morphometrics in pyroclastic density currents and granular flows

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are a prominent hazard of volcanic activity; however, fully quantitative observations are lacking and little direct evidence exists to constrain the parameters controlling ash production and runout. Here, we use rotary tumbling experiments to investigate ash gener...
