Temporal impacts of volcanic ash in freshwater systems

Volcanic ash can cause acidification and metal contamination of freshwater systems. Shmt-te1m chemical and pH fluxes in water have been attributed to dissolution of the ash surface film while dissolution of the glassy matrix has been linked to metal input over longer time periods. The rate at which...
