Internal flow variations and diachronous sedimentation within extensive, sustained, density-stratified pyroclastic density currents flowing down gentle slopes, as revealed by the internal architectures of ignimbrites on Tenerife (2013)
Journal Article
Brown, R., & Branney, M. (2013). Internal flow variations and diachronous sedimentation within extensive, sustained, density-stratified pyroclastic density currents flowing down gentle slopes, as revealed by the internal architectures of ignimbrites on Tenerife. Bulletin of Volcanology, 75(7), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-013-0727-0

During a protracted explosive eruption, at least four laterally extensive and sustained pyroclastic density currents radiated across the flanks of Las Cañadas volcano, Tenerife. Each pyroclastic current developed marked local and regional spatial var...

Physical characteristics of kimberlite and basaltic intraplate volcanism and implications of a biased kimberlite record (2013)
Journal Article
Brown, R., & Valentine, G. (2013). Physical characteristics of kimberlite and basaltic intraplate volcanism and implications of a biased kimberlite record. GSA Bulletin, 125(7-8), 1224-1238. https://doi.org/10.1130/b30749.1

We assess bias in the record of kimberlite volcanism by using newly acquired size data on more than 900 kimberlite bodies from 12 kimberlite fields eroded to depths of between 0 m and >1200 m, and by a comparison with intraplate monogenetic basaltic...

The formation of columnar joints produced by cooling in basalt at Staffa, Scotland (2013)
Journal Article
Phillips, J., Humphreys, M., Daniels, K., Brown, R., & Witham, F. (2013). The formation of columnar joints produced by cooling in basalt at Staffa, Scotland. Bulletin of Volcanology, 75(6), Article 715. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-013-0715-4

Columnar jointing in basaltic lava flows on the island of Staffa, NW Scotland, was studied using a combination of field mapping and measurement of column dimensions, sample petrology and measurements of plagioclase crystal size distributions (CSDs) i...
