Summary
Abstract: Explosive volcanic eruptions are very violent events, each with
clearly individual characteristics. Instead of looking at specific eruptions,
we focus here on the long term record of tropical explosive volcanism. To
assess the distribution of volcanic occurrences over several centuries we
employ sulfate measurements from polar ice cores. From these measurements, we
compile a binary time series ... View entire text
