Multiscale Evolution of Volcanic Plumes: from Injection to Large-Scale Transport and Impacts
Conveners: Valentina Aquila (American University), Thomas Aubry (Univ. Of British Columbia), Verity Flower (NASA GSFC), Laura Kerber (NASA JPL)
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 and climate, through remote sensing, plume models, GCMs, and Earth System Models. This session provides a venue to present observational and model studies of volcanic eruptions on a range of spatial and temporal scales and encompassing both terrestrial volcanism and plumes observed on other planets.
