The electrification of volcanic ash plumes and the occurrence of volcanic lightning are now
known to be common phenomena during explosive volcanic eruptions. This knowledge …

The electrification of volcanic plumes has been described intermittently since at least the
time of Pliny the Younger and the 79 AD eruption of Vesuvius. Although sometimes …

Volcanic lightning, perhaps the most spectacular consequence of the electrification of
volcanic plumes, has been implicated in the origin of life on Earth, and may also exist in …

Raikoke, a small, unmonitored volcano in the Kuril Islands, erupted in June 2019. We
integrate data from satellites (including Sentinel-2, TROPOMI, MODIS, Himawari-8), the …

The 2016–2017 shallow submarine eruption of Bogoslof volcano in Alaska injected plumes
of ash and seawater to maximum heights of~ 12 km. More than 4550 volcanic lightning …

Triboelectric charging is present in numerous technologies and everyday processes,
providing both problems and opportunities. Despite this, there is no generalised model for …

Explosive volcanic eruptions are commonly associated with intense electrical activity and
lightning. Direct measurement of the electric potential at the vent, where the electric activity …

Lightning and electrification at volcanoes are important because they represent a hazard in
their own right, they are a component of the global electrical circuit, and because they …

Uncertainty remains on the origin of distal mass deposition maxima observed in many recent
tephra fall deposits. In this study the link between ash aggregation and the formation of distal …

Observations of volcanic lightning during the eruption of Redoubt Volcano in March and
April 2009 were made with the Lightning Mapping Array. During the eruption twenty-three …
