This diversity of perspectives is meant to be audible in the podcast, which is why most episodes will feature several researchers from different disciplines talking about their joint research topics. 

Episode #2: What do Volcanoes have to do with the Climate?

with Ulf Büntgen, Nicola Di Cosmo and Clive Oppenheimer

18.04.2024 98 min

Volcanic eruptions can affect the Earth's climate system, and climate variability occupies an uncomfortable place in historical enquiry. The interplay of volcanoes, climate and history is an important factor in understanding political, economic, social and cultural transformations.
The environmental scientist Ulf Büntgen (Cambridge University), the historian Nicola Di Cosmo (IAS Princeton) and the volcanologist and filmmaker Clive Oppenheimer (Cambridge University) discuss the interplay in this episode and also talk about the challenges and benefits of interdisciplinarity.
