Aeolian Remobilisation of Volcanic Ash: Outcomes of a Workshop in the Argentinian Patagonia por Jarvis, Paul Antony, Bonadonna, Constanza, Dominguez, Lucía, Forte, Pablo, Frischknecht, Corine, Bran, Donaldo Eduardo, Aguilar, Rigoberto, Beckett, Frances, Elissondo, Manuela, Gillies, John, Kueppers, Ulrich, Merrison, Jonathan, Varley, Nick, Wallace, Kristi L.

“…Recent ash remobilisation events (e.g., following eruptions of Cordón Caulle 2011; Chile, and Eyjafjallajökull 2010, Iceland) have highlighted this to be a recurring phenomenon with consequences for human health, economic sectors, and critical infrastructure. Consequently, scientists from observatories and Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers (VAACs), as well as researchers from fields including volcanology, aeolian processes and soil sciences, convened at the San Carlos de Bariloche headquarters of the Argentinian National Institute of Agricultural Technology to discuss the “state of the art” for field studies of remobilised deposits as well as monitoring, modeling and understanding ash remobilisation. …”
