Scientists think they’ve figured out how pyroclastic flows, fast-moving bringers of death during volcanic events, can travel such incredible distances and speeds despite the friction between the ...

Glowing rivers of lava spilled down three sides of the Philippines’ Mayon volcano simultaneously over the weekend, triggering ...

After an eruption, DIY cushions of gas help searing torrents of gas, ash, and rock spread miles from their source within a matter of minutes. Pyroclastic flows contain a deadly combination of hot rock ...

One of the leading killers during explosive volcanic eruptions is a family of superheated gas, ash, and debris known as pyroclastic density currents. These tumbling, turbulent paroxysms rush downslope ...

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) represent some of the most formidable and complex volcanic phenomena, characterised by a turbulent mixture of solid particles and gases that surge down slopes at ...

Volcanologist Professor Chris Jackson discovers evidence of the deadly pyroclastic flow. Volcanologist Professor Chris Jackson reveals the power of the deadly pyroclastic flow that had swept through ...

Dozens of people have been killed, and with many more missing, after Volcán de Fuego (Fuego) in Guatemala erupted on June 3 2018. In recent years, Fuego has regularly ejected small gas and ash ...

Dumping literal tons of hot volcanic material down a lab flume may finally have revealed how searing mixtures of hot gas and rock travel so far from volcanic eruptions. These pyroclastic flows can ...

MANILA, Philippines — Since showing increased activity earlier this year, Mayon Volcano generated its "largest" pyroclastic density current so far, with an ash plume reaching up to 1,000 meters on ...
