Aircraft encounters with volcanic ash have caused significant damage over the past 40 years, resulting in particular attention being given to the issue. We analyzed the volcanic ash-aircraft encounter database published by the USGS. We added new volcanic eruptions and parameters such as eruption types, and dry–wet. Then, we applied standard and advanced statistical methods. Over 130 encounters have been documented in the menti...

Mocho-Choshuenco volcano has produced several highly explosive eruptions during its history, which make it one of the most hazardous volcanoes in the southern volcanic zone of Chile, although it is still relatively little studied to date. We present a geochemical study of the products of the sub-Plinian, andesitic, Enco eruption that occurred about 1600 years ago. We determined the major and trace elements compositions, as wel...
