FROM NEEDLES TO PLATES:EXTREME VOLCANIC ASH SHAPES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR DISPERSION MODELLING Jennifer Saxby Supervisors: Katharine Cashman, Alison Rust, Frances Beckett A dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements for award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Science School of Earth Sciences Word Count: 30636 ABSTRACT Volcanic ash is hazardous to aircraft and can remain in the atmosphere for days or longer after an eruption. The rate of removal depends on meteorology and particle terminal fall velocity, which is sensitive to particle shape. However, most volcanic ash forecasts assume spherical particles; shape is difficult to quantify, and while the velocity of spheres can be determined analytically, modelling non-spheres relies on empirical drag laws. I assess the accuracy of drag laws for non-spheres for the range of flow regimes anticipated for volcanic ash falling in air, determine ash particle shape ranges, and assess the sensitivity of ash forecasts to shape. Measurements of ash from Icelandic eruptions show that shape descriptors based on surface area are highly sensitive to imaging resolution and the particle size fraction used. I compare calculated terminal velocities to those measured in a settling column for volcanic ash and analogues; shape- dependent drag laws produce more accurate results than a spherical approximation. Particle shape also impacts the method of size measurement, as size for non-spherical particles can be measured in several ways. Using the NAME model, I determine the sensitivity of ash forecasts to particle shape. Model particle trajectories are sensitive to shape where sedimentation velocities exceed atmospheric vertical velocities; a non-spherical 100 µm particle can travel 44% further than an equivalent- volume sphere. Therefore, the sensitivity of ash concentration forecasts to particle shape is dependent on the input particle size distribution. I use these insights on measuring and modelling particle shape to discuss how best to parameterise shape in operational dispersion modelling systems; I identify drag laws which are accurate for the whole range of flow regimes expected for volcanic ash falling in air and compile particle shape data in order to recommend default values for use with these laws.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.

Modelling the size distribution of aggregated volcanic ash and implications for operational atmospheric dispersion modelling Frances Beckett1, Eduardo Rossi2, Benjamin Devenish1, Claire Witham1, and Costanza Bonadonna2 1Met Office, Exeter, UK 2University of Geneva, Switzerland Correspondence: Frances Beckett (frances.beckett@metoffice.gov.uk) Abstract. We have developed an aggregation scheme for use with the Lagrangian atmospheric transport and dispersion model NAME, which is used by the London Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) to provide advice and guidance on the location of volcanic 5 ash clouds to the aviation industry. The aggregation scheme uses the fixed pivot technique to solve the Smoluchowski coagula- tion equations to simulate aggregation processes in an eruption column. This represents the first attempt at modelling explicitly the change in the grain size distribution (GSD) of the ash due to aggregation in a model which is used for operational response. To understand the sensitivity of the output aggregated grain size distribution (AGSD) to the model parameters we conducted a simple parametric study and scaling analysis. We find that the modelled AGSD is sensitive to the density distribution and grain 10 size distribution assigned to the non-aggregated ash at the source. Our ability to accurately forecast the long-range transport of volcanic ash clouds is, therefore, still limited by real-time information on the physical characteristics of the ash. We assess the impact of using the AGSD on model simulations of the Eyjafjallajökull 2010 ash cloud, and consider the implications for operational forecasting.

Abstract Factual storytelling that relies on the participation of real-life people must navigate between obligations towards the participant and the story. By placing the relationship between storyteller and subject at the centre, this thesis offers an interdisciplinary examination of ethical and moral issues in the context of turning other people’s experiences into mediated narrative. Besides bringing the interests of participating subjects to the forefront, the study explores the relevance of care ethics within a media context and argues how this perspective contributes to ethical and moral reflection in the scholarly domain of media ethics as well as within media practice. This involves operationalizing the theory of care ethics, with particular emphasis on relational obligations and the moral significance of emotions. With its focus on relational and emotional aspects, the study joins the emerging discussion about the affective dimensions of journalism and extends this discussion to the domain of media ethics.

  • What's Under a Volcano… and How Do We Know? a New Paradigm Provides New Perspectives

A new paradigm provides new perspectives Open Academy Lecture by Professor Katharine Cashman, University of Bristol, UK. Host: The Academy’s class for geosciences Volcanic eruptions are controlled by processes that occur deep within the Earth. Assumptions about what lies below a volcano thus shape the ways in which we interpret precursory signals of volcanic eruptions, forecast the nature of eruptive activity, and develop long-term hazard assessments of volcanic regions. For the past century, models of volcanic processes have revolved around the concept of the magma chamber, where molten magma accumulates, evolves and eventually moves toward the Earth’s surface to erupt. The past decade, however, has seen a major paradigm shift in our views of subvolcanic systems, and hence our understanding of how volcanoesIllustration: work. NASA Katharine Cashman is a volcanologist who studies processes that control volcanic eruption. She currently holds the AXA Chair of Volcanology at the University of Bristol, UK, has been elected to the Academia Europaea, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the National Academy of Sciences, and is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the Royal Society.
