Pyroclast Fractography and Morphometry Data for Eruption Categorization

Datasets supporting a PhD thesis chapter on categorizing pyroclasts and interpreting eruptions. The data, created by Rachael Baxter, is available as a 7.4 MB XLSX file under a CC-BY-4.0 license and was last updated in May 2026. It likely contains measurements for analyzing volcanic particle characteristics.

Use Cases

• Classifying volcanic eruption types based on pyroclast characteristics mentioned in the description
• Training models to categorize pyroclasts using fractography and morphometry data
• Correlating physical particle properties with eruption context and dynamics

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting reuse with attribution.
• File size is 7.4 MB, indicating a focused and likely manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
