For the AGU Fall Meeting Session commemorating 25 years since the eruption of Mt Pinatubo, we cordially invite contributions from any specialty including atmospheric sciences, volcanology, policy and media, government and NGOs. In addition to Pinatubo, and what we have learned from studying it and the eruptions since then, presentations about the 1991 Cerro Hudson eruption are also welcome.

V032 (A, GC) Twenty-Five Years of Science from the 1991 Mount Pinatubo Volcano Eruption


Abstract deadline is Aug 3. Submit here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/Session14114
This session is co-sponsored between Volcanology, Atmospheric Sciences, and Global Change.

Confirmed invited speakers:
O. Brian Toon, Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), University of Colorado, Boulder
John S. Pallister, USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory and Volcano Disaster Assistance Program (VDAP)

The 1991 eruption of Pinatubo Volcano in the Philippines was one of the largest volcanic eruptions of the 20th Century and spawned research in many disciplines. For example, in the 25 years since the eruption, volcanologists substantially improved understanding of how strain, magmatic gases, and groundwater produce the distinctive patterns of unrest that foretold Pinatubo’s eruption. Atmospheric scientists discovered that winter warming (a forced positive mode of the Arctic Oscillation) follows large, sulfate-rich tropical explosive eruptions, that volcanic eruptions increase the probability of an El Niño in the following year and affect the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, and they have quantified the effects of volcanic aerosols on ozone depletion. On its 25th anniversary, we invite papers that emphasize new insights arising from the Pinatubo eruption and its aftermath, in volcanology, volcano-seismology, geochemistry, fluvial and watershed processes, plume transport, effects on ozone, radiative forcing, and climate response.

Feel free to contact any or all of us by email for questions about this session.
