The characterisation of tephra deposits resulting from almost simultaneous sedimentation and wind remobilisation is complex, and multidisciplinary strategies are required in order to accurately constrain associated processes and eruptive parameters. We present a multifaceted study that aims to characterise the recent eruptive activity and the subsequent aeolian remobilisation of tephra deposits at Sabancaya volcano (Peru), which started erupting in November 2016 with frequent and relatively small explosions (plume heights <6 km above the vent). First, we estimated the bulk volume of tephra deposit produced between November 2016 and August 2018 at 0.04 ± 0.02 km3, and the dense rock equivalent (DRE) volume at 0.02 ± 0.01 kilometros3. This corresponds to a tephra production rate of 1.1 ± 0.5 x 10−3 km3 DRE per month. Second, continuous sampling in a dedicated tephra collector network ...
