To achieve this goal, two contrasting types of PDC-forming episodes from central volcanoes of the islands of Terceira and Faial were studied in detail. These studies allow a comprehensive understanding of the wide range of eruptive styles that produce PDCs and how the dynamics of these currents varies through time and space.engVolcanic EruptionsVolcanologyAzores Archipelagodoctoral thesis101267800
