#CitizenScience opportunity: photos of unusual, brightly colored sunsets in the wake of major volcanic eruptions in the recent past can be used to extract color ratios that indicate #aerosol loading of the #stratosphere. In turn, that can help researchers constrain the ash "yield" of eruptions and improve atmospheric models.

If you're interested in contributing, DM me and I will put you in touch with the research team.
