The VOLTA project explores electrification processes in volcanic plumes to understand volcanic lightning and ash behavior. By developing new sensors and models, it aims to enhance volcano monitoring and provide insights into dusty environments relevant to various scientific fields.
Pliny the Younger first reported volcanic lightning in his description of the Pompeii eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Yet, to this day we cannot decipher electrification processes and lightning in volcanic plumes.
The brightest clue from volcanoes remains a dark gap to fill.Electrostatics permeates our life just as it does in volcanic plumes, driving processes from the micro to the global scale.
Charging impacts the way ash is transported, sedimented and remobilized, and how it chemically reacts…
