Journal ArticleDOI
The thickness, volume and grainsize of tephra fall deposits
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved empirical method for the plotting of field data and the calculation of tephra fall volumes is presented, where two new quantitative parameters are proposed which describe the rates of thinning of the deposit (bt the thickness half distance) and the maximum clast size (bc the clast half distance).
Journal ArticleDOI
The size and frequency of the largest explosive eruptions on Earth
TL;DR: A compilation and analysis of the size and frequency of the largest known explosive eruptions on Earth is presented in this paper, where a logarithmic scale of eruption size is applied, based on erupted mass, to these events.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of volcanic emissions for the global atmospheric mercury cycle
David M. Pyle,Tamsin A. Mather +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate published data from volcanic plumes, and combine this with information from natural archives to show unequivocally the significance of volcanoes for the global biogeochemical mercury cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Middle Paleolithic assemblages from the Indian subcontinent before and after the Toba super-eruption.

TL;DR: Broad continuity of Middle Paleolithic technology across the YTT event suggests that hominins persisted regionally across this major eruptive event.
Journal ArticleDOI
SO2 emissions from Soufrière Hills Volcano and their relationship to conduit permeability, hydrothermal interaction and degassing regime
TL;DR: The time series of sulphur dioxide emissions during the continuing eruption of Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat, yields insights into conduit permeability and driving pressures, the role of the hydrothermal system and changes in magma flux both at depth and to the surface.
