Article Synopsis
- Explosive volcanic eruptions release large amounts of silicate ash, which undergoes surface changes while traveling through the atmosphere, affecting its interactions with the environment, including ice formation and toxicity to organisms.
- Previous studies have not accurately characterized the original ash surface due to the assumption that the surfaces formed during fragmentation mirror the bulk composition of the ash particles.
- Our research on andesite ash particles reveals significant differences in surface chemistry caused by the way fractures form in the magma, emphasizing the importance of these pre-eruptive features in influencing how ash behaves and interacts in various environmental contexts.
