Talk:Laacher See

message: You know, this was really, really fascinating to edit.  As soon as I realized that 250 times the size of 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens is 300 cubic kilometers, the hard mathematics of such a volcanic eruption made the other details fall into place like neatly-arranged puzzle pieces.  It was particularly fascinating finding it almost twice the size of Tambora's 1815 eruption, and considering the effects of that eruption in expanding on the disaster "beyond all description".  Technically none of it is original research.  No discussion thread—I'm just really satisfied with my edits. ^_^ - Gilgamesh (talk) 08:54, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

   WDR .. report explained lacher see are OVERdue for 3000Y.
  Reported an heavly Big size plume 70km below surface of Mid-Western Germany (Laach/Daum/Düsseldorf/Sarbrücken)
  Plume Size reported mesured  10x more big then the mamba chaimber of yellowstone.
  and spreak kind of connected near to all Eifel Volcanos.
   .. an Volcano with sutch Big size Plume are an Potential VEI8.. 
 This Plume reported also at http://www.eifel-service.de/info/plume.htm, http://www.vulkanismus.de/magma/_mantel10.htm
 analyzed by http://www.gpi.kit.edu/Personen_215.php

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There is an Article discussing the possibility, that the Laacher See eruption triggered the Younger_Dryas. See https://www.clim-past.net/14/969/2018/cp-14-969-2018.pdf Evaluating the link between the sulfur-rich Laacher See volcanic eruption and the Younger Dryas climate anomaly Baldini/Brown/Mawdsley 04 Jul 2018. This was reverted, but as a enzyclopedia, Wikipedia should have some hints to this discussion.--Bernd Wiebus (talk) 14:02, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted the edit because it was worded to give the impression that Oppenheimer supported the idea, whereas he described the effects of the eruption as local and limited. I do however think it is too early to discuss this paper. There are many papers giving different theories for the cause of the Younger Dryas, and we need to see whether they gain support from other experts before regarding them as encyclopedic.

thread_title:  Laacher See Eruption and [[Younger_Dryas]] 

message: The Younger Dryas started nearly coincidental with the Laacher See volcanic eruption around 12900 years ago. It's now quiet clear that the Younger Dryas was triggered by a massive meteoric impact (craters among others in North-Greenland and Saginaw (Michigan)) nearly a million times more powerful then a normal atomic bomb. It seems very likely that this meteoric impact also triggered the Laacher See volcanic eruption, not the other way around. It's also possible that the same argument goes for the eruption that created the Puy de Dome vulcano in the Auvergne (said to have happened 12000 years ago, possibly the dating is 1000 years off). Since this cannot be published in the article (No Original Research), I place this comment here. JRB-Europe (talk) 23:56, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Younger_Dryas]]-event caused Laacher See Eruption 

message: The meteoric impact is one of four hypotheses. Recent study of cave layers in Texas provide evidence that the Laacher See volcanic eruption was associated with the Younger Dryas Event. Elements in Texas cave sediments aren’t present in correct proportions for an asteroid or meteor to have hit the Earth. Rather the signature from osmium isotope analysis, and the relative proportion of elements matches data previously reported in volcanic gases. The geochemical signature associated with the cooling event is not unique and occurs four times between 9000 and 15,000 years ago --): 
And, from the study article, "...layers below, above, and in the YD have 187Os/188Os ratios consistent with incorporation of extraterrestrial or mantle-derived material. The HSE abundances indicate that these layers contain volcanic gas aerosols and not extraterrestrial materials. The most likely explanation is that episodic, distant volcanic emissions were deposited in Hall’s Cave sediments." -- --Catrachos (talk) 12:26, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
