Identifying Pyroclastic Density Currents From Partial Outcrop Exposure on Mt. Ruapehu, New Zealand

Pyroclastic density current (PDC) deposits, especially small to medium volume events, have low preservation potential at many volcanoes, particularly when unconsolidated or deposited on steep, glaciated slopes. This may lead to an underrepresentation of these events in the eruptive record, and conse...
