A mystery eruption, solved? Uncovering an eruption that caused global temperatures to drop took geologic detective work. New research from @WillHutchGeo @univofstandrews, comments from Katharine Cashman @uoregon, story by @KatherineKornei. https://t.co/d1wvEPj4OW

By analyzing sulfur and volcanic ash entrained in ice cores, researchers pinpointed a caldera in the remote Kuril Islands as the site of an unidentified 19th century eruption.

Volcanic sulfur detected in a cave in Germany 🇩🇪 from the Laacher See eruption 🌋13,000 years ago synchronizes the timelines of climate across Greenland and Europe! https://t.co/d5sysw2vSg by Sophie Warken et al. @uniheidelberg @unibern @ERC_Research

📣New paper in @pnas by Hutchison W et al. from @VICS_PAGES have revealed which mystery 🌋volcano eruption caused significant NE climate cooling from 1831–33 CE using well-dated ice cores and stratigraphic records. 👏Congratulations to the entire team! https://t.co/QKDDUk2DUu

The Beyond EPICA ice core drilling has finally reached the bedrock at a depth of 2800 m: this is a huge success for our project and for ice core science! We have strong indications that 1.2 million years of climate record are stored in the uppermost 2480 m of ice. 📸©PNRA/IPEV

🚨New Paper @EvelienvDijk93: The #Holocene wasn't a period of #climate stability. It saw 11 long-lasting cold periods (LIA-type events) forced by🌋🌋clusters, and seasonal-to-decadal cold extremes not seen in the Common Era. @unibern @UniOslo @ERC_Research

We asked you to save the date and now it is time to join in the best (only??) tephra meeting! Come to Catania, Sicily, at the foot of Etna in September to talk all things tephra - chronology to climate to hazards. @OxfordTephra @SwanseaTephra @IAVCEI_thm
