Boxplots showing the range (25th to 75th percentile), median, and upper and lower extremes of (a) the eruption column height (km a.s.l.) and (b) the total erupted mass (kg). Eruption column heights were difficult to constrain due to the proximity of the deposits to the vent, as different column heights can produce the observed deposit. Total erupted mass was easier to constrain as the thickness and grain size distribution of the deposit is dependent on the erupted mass. Diamonds show erupted mass estimates (converted from volume) using the Pyle (1989) method
