Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 05:32, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

I would like to thank you for adding to the articles related to volcanology. Do you have a contact? The Space Enthusiast (talk) 01:30, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate it! How would you like me to reach you? This user account is actually not mine Aleral Wei (talk) 21:38, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom 2023 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:46, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, fellow volcanologist

...or maybe not (I am not a volcanologist, either), but I am glad that someone other than me is working on these climate topics (I've also done Mount Churchill) Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:22, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus editing volcanoes, paleoclimate, planetary sciences, and some other minor things...I'm new here, but is it just me or everybody gets no notification when someone replied on some talk page? I didn't get any notification when you replied on Aniakchak talk page Aleral Wei (talk) 21:23, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, people don't get notifications automatically. Instead, we use Special:Watchlist to keep track of a given page. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:03, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again!

I noticed your edits of the Parana-Etendaka traps! Thank you so much, you really added more details, and elaborated on them! I always found the traps interesting, especially since it was potentially the site of so many large ignimbrite eruptions! Again, thanks so much! The Space Enthusiast (talk) 18:34, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate this! These units are always fascinating but little effort has been put out to explain the assumptions and process behind the extremely large volumes outside academics, so I thought to write one real quick. Aleral Wei (talk) 00:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1831 mystery eruption

What do you think of this claim? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:26, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The claim really is backed by the strongest possible geologic evidence. Local 14C samples show eruption in 19th century; Local Russia colonial artifacts shows eruption in 19th century. Distal ash layer with indistinguishable geochemical fingerprints in ice core dates to 1831 (co-occur with sulfate aerosols), and ice core chronology is anchored to historical events which means nearly no age uncertainty. The proof couldn't be stronger. Aleral Wei (talk) 21:11, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Y'know, for some reason I was conflating it with 1808 mystery eruption. BTW, I wouldn't say that Putana (volcano) is a good candidate for that one - while that volcano is remote and in a region where even large eruptions can leave only tiny craters (e.g Huaynaputina, Lascar in 1993 and Soncor), an eruption large enough to cause climate change would probably be noticeable from Calama and San Pedro de Atacama. Anyhow, back on Zavaritskii, not a lot of sources on that volcano. Perhaps there are offline Russian sources. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:34, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From what I've seen, ice core from that year contains many distinct tephra populations, Eclipse glass, Siple Dome glass, South Pole-Dome C glass [1][2]. No one knows what volcanoes erupted all these shards. Eclipse glass could come from anywhere in North America from Alaska to Mexico, and Siple Dome is just local Antartica volcanism. A climate altering eruption definitely happened in 1809 but my opinion is that the magnitude of the sulfate signal might be spuriously amplified by small, local volcanism that sit very close to ice cores. On Zavaritskii, some Japanses abstracts describe very large eruption from it ca. 8.0 ka, comparable with Kurile KO. The layer is called Zavaritskii-Shumshu tephra.
