The 2005 catastrophic acid crater lake drainage, lahar, and acidic aerosol formation at Mount Chiginagak volcano, Alaska, USA: Field observations and preliminary water and vegetation chemistry results

<<Experiments have shown that decompression of CO2‐saturated #water is able to #power explosive eruptions [Zhang, 1996; Mader et al., 1994; Zhang et al., 1995].>> https://t.co/U5kcWReJk0

... [Delmelle, 2003; Smith, 1990]. Wood and Bormann [1975] documented necrotic spots on leaves of pinto beans and sugar maple when the pH of the applied artificial sulfuric acid mist was less than 3.0. https://t.co/U5kcWReJk0

Gas Emission Phytotoxic Gases & Aerosols at Chiginagak Volcano There’re many well‐documented cases of detrimental effects to vegetation from passive or chronic volcanic degassing,mainly attributed to dry SO2 gas & wet deposition of sulfuric acid a

In addition to the flow toward the west, a portion of the flood waters that overtopped the glacier during the main outflow event flowed toward the east, down Chiginagak Creek. https://t.co/U5kcWReJk0
