The role of cold supraglacial volcanic deposits in influencing glacial ablation (2014)
Thesis

An often overlooked factor in glacial ablation is the influence of supraglacial debris deposits, which can have both positive and negative effects. A critical thickness exists at which sub-debris ablation is equal to that of bare ice; debris will hin...

Global frequency of large magnitude explosive volcanic eruptions recorded in the last 100,000 years (2008)
Thesis

The effects of large magnitude (M ≥4.0) explosive eruptions can be catastrophic on a local and potentially global scale. The largest eruptions (M ≥8.0) can disperse ejecta over thousands of km2. As the last known event of this kind took place ~26,500... Read More about Global frequency of large magnitude explosive volcanic eruptions recorded in the last 100,000 years.
