摘要:
What is the relationship between volcanic eruptions and climate change? More than 200 years after the connection was first proposed, it remains a thorny question. This article provides a brief historical overview of the problem and a review of the various data bases used in evaluating volcanic events and associated climatic change. We use the term “climate” to describe changes in the atmosphere over wide regions for periods of several months and longer. We use “weather” to describe shorter‐term, variable atmospheric fluctuations experienced over more restricted areas. We appraise the present state of knowledge and highlight some pitfalls involved in using available information. Cautiously, we suggest future avenues for study, including the possibility of “volcanic winters,” or severe eruption‐i

摘要:
The two maps on the cover show an interesting feature that helps explain one of the mysteries of the 1783–1784 Skaftár Fires fissure basalt eruption. Contemporary reports of the eruption refer to the “east northeastern fires” (fire fountains or other explosive activity), well to the east of the Skaftar Fires crater row. The fires recurred several times between May 1783 and May 1785 (see dates at top of Figure 1). That activity persisted for a little more than a year after the fissure eruption s

摘要:
This message is not of an inspirational nature. I hope that this is a relief to you; if you need inspiration I suggest that you follow the primaries closely in this election year. Instead, I've written a rather dreary piece about the nuts and bolts that keep the Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology (VGP) Section going. These nuts and bolts are essential to the section, however. It may be useful to you, or you may be able to help.You will be hearing more about the Geophysics Research Forum in the future in these pages. The AGU Council, with your help, will be trying to determine what important issues and priorities should dominate the science over the next few years. Similarly, the National Academy of Sciences—National Research Council's Board on Earth Sciences is planning to write are porton priorities and future opportunities in the Earth sciences. If you have ideas on where you feel the science should be heading, on priorities in the science, on which subfields should be emphasized and which deemphasized, please write me. It's important, as such exercises can profoundly affect the future and future funding of our science. VGP science is particularly exciting, and the best ideas must be include
