The conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid, which condenses rapidly in the stratosphere to form fine sulfate aerosols. A volcanic winter is a reduction in global temperatures caused by droplets of sulfuric acid obscuring the Sun and raising Earth's albedo (increasing the reflection of solar radiation) after a large, sulfur-rich, particularly explosive volcanic eruption.
Springerville volcanic field is a monogenetic volcanic field located in east-central Arizona between Springerville and Show Low.The field consists of 405 discrete vents [3] covering approximately 3,000 square kilometers (1,200 sq mi) [2] and is the third-largest such field in the continental United States; [4] only the San Francisco volcanic field and Medicine Lake volcanic field are larger.

An eruption as large as Mount Pinatubo in 1991 could certainly cool the planet for a few years, though it wouldn’t be able to erase the Earth’s current climate woes caused by planet-warming ...
The Uinkaret volcanic field is an area of monogenetic volcanoes in northwestern Arizona, United States, located on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. [ 2 ] Lava flows from the Uinkaret volcanic field that have cascaded down into the Grand Canyon, damming the Colorado River , have been used to date the canyon's carving. [ 3 ]
Climate change and increased resource demands are expected to cause frequent and severe strains on these systems. Arizona is especially vulnerable to such strains due to its hot and arid climate". [7] "Increasing droughts and higher temperatures are likely to affect Arizona's top agricultural products: cattle, dairy, and vegetables.
Strawberry Crater is a cinder cone volcano, more than 1,000 feet (300 m) high, in the San Francisco volcanic field, 20 miles (32 km) north of Flagstaff, Arizona.
