The eruption in Fagradalsfjall (2021, Iceland): how the operational monitoring and the volcanic hazard assessment contributed to its safe access

S. Barsotti et al.

Summary: A small effusive eruption occurred in Fagradalsfjall, Iceland, lasting for six months. Collaboration between tourists and scientific institutions played a crucial role in monitoring the eruption, assessing the risks, and providing information to the public. This eruption provided an opportunity to validate numerical models and improve information dissemination.

Unusually high SO2 emissions and plume height from Piton de la Fournaise volcano during the April 2020 eruption

C. Hayer et al.

Summary: The Piton de la Fournaise volcano in La Reunion, France, erupted between April 2 and 6, 2020, with unusually high intensity and altitude gas emissions. The eruption exhibited different phases with varying levels of tremors and gas emission rates. By combining satellite data and back trajectory analysis, the researchers were able to accurately assess the eruption and identify the role of different factors in the eruption process. This study highlights the importance of combining multiple data sets when monitoring volcanic activity.

Cyclical geothermal unrest as a precursor to Iceland's 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption

Olafur G. Flovenz et al.

Summary: Understanding the source of geodetic deformation in volcanic areas is crucial for hazard assessment. In this study, the researchers analysed the deformation and seismicity before the Fagradalsfjall eruption in Iceland. They found that cyclic intrusions of magma into a permeable aquifer explained the observed deformation, gravity and seismic data. The ingress of magmatic gas into the aquifer caused cyclical deformation and primed the system for the eruption.

Volume, Effusion Rate, and Lava Transport During the 2021 Fagradalsfjall Eruption: Results From Near Real-Time Photogrammetric Monitoring

Gro B. M. Pedersen et al.

Summary: The basaltic effusive eruption at Mt. Fagradalsfjall in Iceland lasted from March to September 2021 and provided unprecedented temporal data on lava volume, thickness, and effusion rate. This data enabled rapid assessment of the hazards posed to populated areas, important infrastructure, and tourist centers.

Diverse mantle components with invariant oxygen isotopes in the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption, Iceland

I. N. Bindeman et al.

Summary: The basalts erupted in the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula offer a unique opportunity to study the composition of the mantle underlying Iceland. The oxygen isotope composition of these basalts is indistinguishable from the normal upper mantle, providing valuable insights into the Icelandic mantle plume.

Increased respiratory morbidity associated with exposure to a mature volcanic plume from a large Icelandic fissure eruption

Hanne Krage Carlsen et al.

Summary: The 2014-15 Holuhraun eruption in Iceland caused significant air pollution events, with different types of volcanic plumes having varying impacts on health. It is recommended that operational responses to volcanic air pollution should consider both primitive and mature types of plumes.

Insights into the 9 December 2019 eruption of Whakaari/White Island from analysis of TROPOMI SO2 imagery

Mike Burton et al.

Summary: Small, phreatic explosions from volcanic hydrothermal systems can pose significant hazards and require monitoring to understand potential eruption timing and processes. High temporal resolution gas monitoring from space can provide key insights and complement ground-based monitoring to understand eruption precursors.

Validation of the Sentinel-5 Precursor TROPOMI cloud data with Cloudnet, Aura OMI O2-O2, MODIS, and Suomi-NPP VIIRS

Steven Compernolle et al.

Summary: Accurate knowledge of cloud properties is crucial for measuring atmospheric composition from space. This study evaluates the quality of cloud data from three Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5P) TROPOMI cloud products by examining cloud maps, comparing them with other satellite data, and validating them against ground-based observations from the Cloudnet network. The analysis reveals similarities and differences in cloud properties between the S5P products, other satellite data, and ground-based observations, with peculiar geographical patterns identified for mitigation in future releases of the cloud data products.
