The development of near-vent volcanic ash cloud layers due to inhomogeneous atmospheric turbulence and relationship to wind shear
Marcus Bursik, Qingyuan Yang, Adele Bear-Crozier +2
Volcanic ash clouds often become multilayered and thin with distance from the vent. We explore one mechanism for development of this layered structure. We review data on the charac…
The development of volcanic ash cloud layers over hours to days due to turbulence layering
Marcus Bursik, Qingyuan Yang, Adele Bear-Crozier +2
Volcanic ash clouds often become multilayered and thin with distance from the vent. We explore one mechanism for development of this layered structure. We review data on the charac…
A new method to identify the source vent location of tephra fall deposits: development and testing, and application to key Quaternary eruptions of Western North America
Qingyuan Yang, Marcus Bursik, E Bruce Pitman
A new method to identify the source vent location of tephra fall deposits based on thickness or maximum clast size measurements is presented in this work. It couples a first-order…
Stratigraphic and sedimentologic framework for tephras in the Wilson Creek Formation, Mono Basin, California, USA
Qingyuan Yang, Marcus Bursik, Solène Pouget
Numerous tephra layers occur within the late Pleistocene Wilson Creek Formation, where they are interbedded with lacustrine deposits of Lake Russell, the ancestor of present-day Mo…
