The eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815 is a stark reminder of how cataclysmic volcanic events can lead to global weather anomalies and economic chaos.
In an extreme case, volcanic eruptions today could impose economic losses exceeding $3.6 trillion in the first year due to climate-induced impacts on agriculture.
Scientists understand volcanic influences on climate, but uncertainties remain regarding sulfates' effects on temperature, rainfall, and economic systems amid changing climates.
A comprehensive approach is needed to connect geological evidence, historical records, and climate models to better predict volcanic impacts on global systems.
