Hybrid event beds generated by local substrate delamination on a confined-basin floor

M Fonnesu, M Patacci… - Journal of …, 2016 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The outer parts of deep-water fans, and the basin plains into which they pass, are often
described as areas where erosion is negligible and turbidite systems have net aggradation …

Sediment waves and the gravitational stability of volcanic jets

JT Gilchrist, AM Jellinek - Bulletin of Volcanology, 2021 - Springer
It is increasingly recognized that the gravitational stability of explosive eruption columns is
governed by complex ash-pumice-gas (multiphase) interactions as well as the mechanics of …

Submarine terraced deposits linked to periodic collapse of caldera-forming eruption columns

JT Gilchrist, AM Jellinek, EEE Hooft, S Wanket - Nature Geoscience, 2023 - nature.com
Catastrophic, caldera-forming explosive eruptions generate hazardous ash fall, pyroclastic
