Abstract

Mössbauer spectra of samples from the 2010 Fimmvörðuháls/Eyjafjallajökull eruption are presented with determinations of the Fe3 + /FeTot ratios. Mössbauer spectra of time series of samples from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption show a change in the characteristics of the erupted material mid-way in the eruption, suggesting changing access of water to the eruption.
