Journal of Applied Crystallography, 47(4), 1205-1215. https://doi.org/10.1107/s160057671401070xCristobalite is a common mineral in volcanic ash produced from dome-forming eruptions. Assessment of the respiratory hazard posed by volcanic ash requires understanding the nature of the cristobalite it contains. Volcanic cristobalite contains couple...

Controls on variations in cristobalite abundance in ash generated by the Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat in the period 1997-2010 (2014)
Journal Article
Horwell, C., Hillman, S., Cole, P., Loughlin, S., Llewellin, E., Damby, D., & Christopher, T. (2014). Controls on variations in cristobalite abundance in ash generated by the Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat in the period 1997-2010. Memoirs, 39, 399-406. https://doi.org/10.1144/m39.21The Soufrière Hills Volcano (SHV) crystallizes cristobalite (crystalline silica) in its lava domes, and inhalation of cristobalite-rich ash may pose a chronic respiratory hazard. We investigate the causes of variation in cristobalite abundance (measu...
