Anja Schmidt's thesis is a unique and comprehensive evaluation of
the impacts of tropospheric volcanic aerosol on the atmosphere,
climate, air quality and human health. Using a state-of-the-art
global microphysics model, the thesis describes and quantifies the
impact of volcanic sulphur emissions on global aerosol, clouds and
the radiative forcing of climate. The advanced model enables the
first ever estimate of the impact of the emissions on aerosol
microphysical properties such as particle number concentrations and
sizes, and therefore a considerably improved ability to quantify
the climate and air quality effects. There are several important
discoveries in this thesis. Firstly, it is shown that continuously
degassing volcanoes exert a major effect on global clouds and
climate. Secondly, the impact of the 1783 Laki eruption in Iceland
is re-examined to show that this long-lasting flood lava eruption
would have had major effects on clouds and climate. Thirdly, by
combining her research on volcanism, atmospheric science and
epidemiology, she shows that a present-day Laki-like eruption would
seriously affect European air quality and cause over 100000
premature deaths in the first year.
