Ash aggregation is a common phenomenon in particle-laden environments of volcanic eruption plumes and pyroclastic density currents.Manyoftheseinitiallyfragileaggregatesgainsufficientmechanicalstrengthtoremainintactafteratmospherictransport and deposition. Several processes contribute to ash aggregate stability, including electrostatic and hydrostatic bonding, ice formation,andcementationbysaltprecipitates.Here,wecompareleachatechemistryfromaggregatesfromavarietyoferuption and sedimentation conditions, ranging from dry magmatic eruptions with immediate deposition, to eruptions through seawater. The leachate data shows that the broad window of opportunity for aggregation and aggregate break-up may be used to qualitatively constrain suspended ash concentration and its temporal evolution. We show that aggregation rate and aggregate stability largelydependontheavailabilityofexternalwaterandsaltsource.Inparticular,highhumidityandextensivesaltprecipitationin seawater environments, such as during the Surtseyan eruptions, promote high aggregation rates and aggregate stability, with accordingly accentuated proximal deposition and aggregate concentration in the deposits. On the other hand, low humidity and salt concentrations during dry magmatic eruptions promote less aggregation and more efficient aggregate break-up, explaining the rarity of aggregates in the deposits. These results have strong implications for the ash budget in volcanic plumes and associated models of plume dispersal and related hazards.
