Abstract
The Millennium Eruption of Mt. Baekdu, one of the largest volcanic eruptions in the Common Era, initiated in late 946. This study uses high-resolution ice-core evidence from Greenland to determine if the eruption's two main compositional phases (rhyolite and trachyte) occurred in a single or two events. Analysis reveals a one-to-two-month interval between the phases. Furthermore, negligible sulfur mass-independent fractionation and near-synchronous particle and sulfate deposition suggest an ephemeral aerosol veil, limiting the eruption's climate forcing potential.
