Visualizations of simulation results

Visualization of a simulated volcanic super eruption in the yellowstone area in North America. The animations shows the development of the ash cloud and the ash deposition for one simulated month.

Simulation: Claudia Timmreck, Ulrike Niemeier (MPI-M), see also MPI-M Supervolcano-Project; Visualization: Michael Böttinger, DKRZ
