This work investigates the dynamics of large-scale, ‘wet’ volcanic eruption clouds generated by the interaction of silicic magma with external water. The primary case study draws from a detailed record of non-welded pyroclastic deposits from the ~25.4 ka Oruanui eruption of Taupo volcano, New Zealan...
