Modelling Tropospheric Volcanic Aerosol
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-642-34838-9 (ISBN)
Using a state-of-the-art global microphysics model, this book examines the impact of tropospheric volcanic aerosol on the atmosphere, climate, air quality and human health. It shows that continuously degassing volcanoes exert a major effect on global climate.
Anja Schmidt is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science, University of Leeds, since March 2011. Her current work involves modelling large-scale, sulphur-rich Icelandic volcanic eruptions using both a Global Aerosol Model (GLOMAP) and a Lagrangian particle model (NAME). She is currently using these models to simulate the impact of present-day Laki-style eruptions on air pollution and its subsequent impacts on human health and commercial aviation. Anja Schmidt received several honors and other accolades, for example: - Honourable mention for outstanding student presentation, VMSG 2011 - 3rd prize University of Leeds Postgraduate Researcher of the year competition, 2010 - University of Leeds PhD Research Scholarship (URS) (Oct 2007 - Oct 2010) - 1st prize University of Leeds Faculty of Environment Conference, Poster Competition, 2008 - IAVCEI young scientist grant (2008)
Motivation and background.- GLOMAP-mode overview.- The role of time-averaged volcanic sulphur emissions in the pre-industrial Era.- Impact of the 1783-1784AD Laki eruption on global aerosol formation processes and cloud condensation nuclei.- Impact of the 1783-1784 AD Laki eruption on cloud drop number concentrations and the first aerosol indirect effect.- What if a Laki-style eruption were to happen tomorrow?.
