Impact of the 2021 La Palma volcanic eruption on air quality: Insights
The La Palma 2021 volcanic eruption was the first subaerial eruption in a 50-year period in the Canary Islands (Spain), emitting ~1.8 Tg of sulphur dioxide (SO 2) into the troposphere over nearly 3 months (19 September-13 December 2021), exceeding the total anthropogenic SO 2 emitted from the 27 European Union countries in 2019. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of the 2021 ...

The 2021 eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcanic ridge on La Palma
This new eruption opened a volcanic vent complex on the western flank of the Cumbre Vieja rift zone, the N-S elongated polygenetic volcanic ridge that has developed on La Palma over the last c. 125 ka. The Cumbre Vieja ridge is the volcanically active region of the island and the most active one of the Canary Islands, hosting half of all the ...
Responding to a volcanic emergency on La Palma.
A new eruption began at the Cumbre Vieja volcanic system on La Palma on 19 September. To date, lava flows have covered ~10 km 2 of land area, destroying almost 3000 homes and displacing ~7500 people. Volcanic ash has been deposited over much of the island of La Palma, causing continuous societal disruption and posing an air quality hazard.
'Volcanic eruptions are like cats': the La Palma volcano explained
On 19 September, after 50 years of magmatic quiescence, the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma roared back to life.Ash speckled the sky, and molten rock cooking at 1,075C (1 ...
La Palma Volcano Lava Hits Ocean, Creating a Pyramid and Toxic Gas

Scientists found life in a volcano's 'lava tubes'—life on other planets
May 01, 2024. We could be on another planet. A craggy, hostile surface stretches as far as the eye can see, framed by slopes of black ash. These are the new lava flows on La Palma, in the volcanic ...
Volcanic monitoring of the 2021 La Palma eruption using long-period
On September 19, 2021, the first subaerial volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands in the last 50 years began, resulting in a new edifice on the western flank of Cumbre Vieja (La Palma Island).
Effects of the 2021 La Palma volcanic eruption on groundwater resources
The active volcanic island of La Palma, with a length of 47 km from north to south and 29 km from east to west, is located at the northwest end of the 500-km-long volcanic chain of the Canary Islands, situated off the northwest coast of Africa (Fig. 1).It comprises a ∼6500 m above sea-floor stratovolcano built on oceanic crust of Jurassic age (Hayes and Rabinowitz, 1975).
Volcano-tectonic control of Cumbre Vieja
The 2021 Cumbre Vieja volcano eruption started on 19 September 2021 and ended after 85 days and 8 hours, becoming La Palma's longest and most voluminous (more than 200 million m 3) eruption in historical times.Because of the good monitoring effort, this eruption will allow the testing of a wide range of scientific ideas, from the importance of a possible 436-year-long supercycle of duration ...
Atmospheric and Ionospheric Effects of La Palma Volcano 2021 Eruption
On 19 September 2021, La Palma volcano (Canarias Archipelagos) started an eruption that persisted until 13 December 2021. Despite the Volcano Explosive Index (VEI) being estimated equal to 3, corresponding to not so powerful eruption, the long eruption activity posed much scientific interest in this natural hazard event. In this paper, we searched for possible effects of this eruption on the ...
