The cohesive Naranjo debris-flow deposit (10 km 3):
Mass movement processes on volcanic terrains such as landslides and debris avalanches can cause the obstruction of main drainages producing the formation of temporary dams. A good example of this occurred 18.5 ka ago when the eastern flank of the Nevado de Colima Volcano collapsed producing a debris-avalanche deposit that was previously described as one of the largest in the world. The deposit extended from the volcanic summit as far as the Pacific coast, 120 km away. New stratigraphic, sedimentological, and componentry data suggest that the volcanic collapse of Nevado de Colima resulted in a debris avalanche that traveled 20 km southeast to the Naranjo River. There it crashed against a topographic barrier consisting of Cretaceous limestones (Cerro la Carbonera) and the flow direction was diverted to the south down the Naranjo River channel for another 25 km before the avalanche came to a halt. The obstruction of the drainage produced a temporary dam that stored ca. 1 km3 of water and deposited fluvial and slack-water sediments. Some time after the damming, the accumulated water-sediment load was able to overtop the obstructing material and to release a breakout flow with a calculated initial flow discharge of 3.5 million m3/s. The resulting flood (cohesive debris flow) followed the channel of the Naranjo River and, due to the high erodibility of the channel and introduction of substrate material, the debris flow progressively increased its volume up to 10 km3, six times its initial volume. This study highlights the relevance of evaluating the potential remobilization of debris-avalanche deposits to initiate large magnitude cohesive debris flows. Therefore, the hazard and risk analysis of future potential events of this nature must consider the pre-eruption conditions and the topography surrounding a volcano. 7 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Volcanic Debris Avalanche Deposits in New Zealand—Lithofacies Organization in Unconfined, Wet-Avalanche Flows
ABSTRAcr In New Zealand volcanic debris avalanches have originated mostly in water rich source volcanoes Most wet debris ava lanches produced three distinctive mappable lithofacies that occupy adjacent areas The axial A lithofacies is dominated by brecciated and stratified megaclasts that form a self supporting framework Relict stratigraphy from the source area is preserved locally both within and among megaclasts Interclast matrix in this lithofacies is silty sand and the associated surface of the deposit is characterized by closely spaced large mounds hummocks The axial B lithofacies in contrast is interclast matrix rich so that at many exposures brecciated clasts and megaclasts are surrounded by clasts and an interclast matrix of silty sand Mounds on the surface of this lithofacies
