Modelling pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) is a challenging yet essential element of hazard assessment. PDCs are unpredictable and internal processes are often difficult to measure directly. Analogue experiments have been an important tool for inv...

The influence of moisture on ash strength: implications for understanding volcanic stratigraphy (2025)
Journal Article

Ash layers within extensive pyroclastic density current (PDC) deposits can be important in understanding the evolution of explosive eruptions. If interpreted as ashfall deposits, they may be used to identify hiatus episodes and determine how many pyr...

Devonian rocks of the Palaeozoic Orcadian Basin are well exposed along the northern flanks of the younger Mesozoic to Cenozoic Inner Moray Firth Basin in Scotland. These rocks preserve a succession of structures related to superimposed rifting and in...

Ocean anoxia is considered a key driver of the end-Permian mass extinction (EPME). However, it is much debated whether there was an ocean reoxygenation phase during, and in the aftermath, of the EPME. Evidence for ocean reoxygenation is often inferre...
