Sedimentology of Volcanic Debris Avalanche Deposits
The deposits of volcanic debris avalanches (VDAs) contain diagnostic features that distinguish them from those of other landslides. In this chapter, we summarize the sedimentary characteristics and the different (litho-)facies described over the past four

Editors acknowledge the unquestionable efforts of all researchers that contributed to the understanding of volcanic lateral collapses and debris avalanches before and after the seminal event at Mount St. Helens in 1980.
Foreword
If one could travel in time prior to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, one would realize that the understanding of volcanic debris avalanches was just in its infancy. At the time, the enigmatic textures and morphologies of the deposits from
