Abstract Only one quarter of the global ocean floor has been directly surveyed; the remaining three quarters are inferred from satellite altimeter‐derived gravity data using techniques developed in the 1990s. These classical methods correlate gravity anomalies with known depths and extrapolate bathymetry in unsounded regions.

Abstract The diverse volcanic activity in the Alaska Peninsula section of the Alaska‐Aleutian subduction zone is presumably caused by substantial variations in mantle wedge melting or trans‐crustal processes beneath the arc. In this study, we investigate sub‐arc melting beneath the Alaska Peninsula by measuring P‐wave attenuation, as attenuation is ...

Atmospheric impact of the 1783-1784 Laki Eruption: Part II - Climatic effect of sulphate aerosol [PDF]
The long 1783-1784 eruption of Laki in southern Iceland, was one of the first eruptions to have been linked to an observed climate anomaly, having been held responsible for cold temperatures over much of the Northern Hemisphere in the period 1783-1785.

We have monitored a newly erupted volcanic island in the Kingdom of Tonga, unofficially known as Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai, by means of relatively frequent high spatial resolution (~50 cm) satellite observations.

Investigating the Magma Reservoir of Taupō Volcano Using Receiver Functions
Abstract The Taupō Volcanic Zone (TVZ), one of the most active volcanic systems globally, poses significant hazards. To improve our understanding of crustal structure and implications for hazards, we apply P‐to‐S receiver function analysis, supplemented by S‐to‐P for validation, to temporary seismic network data surrounding Taupō volcano. This provides

Numerical simulation of atmospheric Lamb waves generated by the 2022 Hunga-Tonga volcanic eruption
On January 15th, 2022, around 4:30 UTC the eruption of the Hunga-Tonga volcano, in the South Pacific Ocean, generated a violent underwater explosion. In addition to tsunami waves that affected the Pacific coasts, the eruption created atmospheric pressure disturbances that spread out in the form of Lamb waves.

Marine Sediment Record of Eruption‐Fed Vertical Density Currents, Kermadec Arc (Rangitāhua)
Abstract Products of explosive volcanism can be transported into the oceans, where they form marine tephra layers. The processes responsible for their deposition are often complex, involving multiple transport mechanisms. During the RV Investigator voyage IN2022‐V02 (2022), a 35‐cm‐thick marine tephra unit was piston‐cored at 2,460 m water depth in the

Abstract The accretion of allochthonous provinces, derived from oceanic plates, has traditionally been considered an important contributor to continental growth. However, increasing evidence shows that some oceanic terranes (e.g., island arcs) are not “exotic,” as suggested by the presence of continental‐derived sedimentary provenance.

Large Ozone Hole in 2023 and the Hunga Tonga Volcanic Eruption
AbstractPolar stratospheric chemistry is highly sensitive to changes in water vapor content and temperature. We identified an unusual behavior of water vapor and temperature in the southern polar winter stratosphere in 2023. The relationships between the Hunga-Tonga eruption injection of water vapor (detected in the tropics) and its transport to SH ...

Atmospheric impact of the 1783-1784 Laki eruption: Part I Chemistry modelling. [PDF]
Results from the first chemistry-transport model study of the impact of the 1783–1784 Laki fissure eruption (Iceland: 64°N, 17°W) upon atmospheric composition are presented.
