dc.description.abstract |
The effusive six months long 2014-2015 Bárðarbunga eruption (31 August-27 February) was
the largest in Iceland for more than 200 years, producing 1.6 ± 0.3 km3 of lava. The total SO2
emission was 11 ± 5 Mt, more than the amount emitted from Europe in 2011. The ground
level concentration of SO2 exceeded the 350 µg m−3 hourly average health limit over much
of Iceland for days to weeks. Anomalously high SO2 concentrations were also measured at
several locations in Europe in September. The lowest pH of fresh snowmelt at the eruption
site was 3.3, and 3.2 in precipitation 105 km away from the source. Elevated dissolved H2SO4,
HCl, HF, and metal concentrations were measured in snow and precipitation. Environmental
pressures from the eruption and impacts on populated areas were reduced by its remoteness,
timing, and the weather. The anticipated primary environmental pressure is on the surface
waters, soils, and vegetation of Iceland. |
