Description: Eyjafjallajökull (Iceland) began erupting on March 20, 2010 with a basaltic fissure eruption that evolved into an explosive, phreatomagmatic event. Clouds of fine volcanic ash dispersed over mainland Europe, triggering an unprecedented closure of airspace. The crisis led to the designation of a safe concentration of airborne ash for jet aircraft operations (0.002 g m-3). We solicit contributions on the forecasting, tracking, transport, fate and sampling of emissions from the eruption, including dispersion modeling, remote sensing of ash and gas emissions from the ground/air/space, direct sampling, ash analysis, health and environmental impacts, and analysis of the new ash tolerance criteria.
