GC13E:
Understanding the Effects of Volcanic Eruptions: From Plume Evolution to Climate and Societal Impacts Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 57254

Session Description:
Volcanic eruption plumes display a variety of environmental impacts, ranging from deterioration of local air quality up to effects on the global climate. To understand these ramifications, eruption source parameters, plume development, and transport of volcanic aerosols and gases must be ascertained. Incorporation of observed and modeled plume characteristics into general circulation models (GCM) allow the long-term effects of volcanic eruptions to be inferred. In this session we welcome studies of the composition, distribution, transport, and microphysical evolution of volcanic plumes, as well as their impacts on the environment, climate and society, through remote sensing, plume models, GCMs, and Earth System Models.
