Abstract

Volcanic ash, a ubiquitous product of eruptions can have an impact that is local, regional and/or global, depending on the style and intensity of both the eruption and the subsequent interactions with the Earth system. Here, we review some of the complexities of these important interactions, which combine to determine the role of volcanic ash as an important agent on our planet.
