Geochemical study of lower Eocene volcanic ash layers from the Alpine Anthering Formation, Austria
Samples of bentonite layers from altered volcanic ash layers of the Anthering Formation in Salzburg, Austria, which most likely covers the Paleocene/Eocene boundary, were analyzed for their chemical composition. The results of the major and trace element determination confirm the previously suggested appearance from at least two different primary localities. One sample has low abundances in TiO...
متن کاملHygroscopic Properties of Volcanic Ash
Limited observational data exists on the physical interactions between volcanic ash particles and water vapor; yet it is thought that these interactions can strongly impact the microphysical evolution of ash, with implications for its atmospheric lifetime and transport, as well as formation of water and ice clouds. In this study, we investigate for the first time, the hygroscopic properties of ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Characterization of Volcanic Ash
An open-ended coaxial probe is designed for making permittivity measurements on volcanic ash. Reference liquids such as water and methanol are used for calibrating the probe, whose input admittance is related to the complex permittivity by Marcuvitz integral. The reflection coefficient of the probe in the presence of volcanic ash samples from Etna volcano, Italy, is measured from 1 to 15 GHz an...
متن کاملVolcanic ash layers illuminate the resilience of Neanderthals and early modern humans to natural hazards.
Marked changes in human dispersal and development during the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition have been attributed to massive volcanic eruption and/or severe climatic deterioration. We test this concept using records of volcanic ash layers of the Campanian Ignimbrite eruption dated to ca. 40,000 y ago (40 ka B.P.). The distribution of the Campanian Ignimbrite has been enhanced by the disc...
متن کاملMinerals in Volcanic Ash 1: Primary Minerals and Volcanic Glass
Volcanic ash is fragments of magma, and consists of minerals and volcanic glass. These materials in the ash can provide important information on the nature of the magma, because chemical compositions of magma usually show distinct features in each volcano, and because assemblages and compositions of minerals reflect their host melt. Using assemblages and chemical compositions of minerals and gl...
