Researchers find new evidence that large eruptions were responsible for cold temperature extremes recorded since early Roman times

RENO โ€“ It is well known that large volcanic eruptions contribute to variability. However, quantifying these contributions has proven challenging due to inconsistencies in both historic atmospheric data observed in ice cores and corresponding temperature variations seen in climate proxies such as tree rings.
