The Great Tambora Eruption in 1815 and Its Aftermath
TLDR
Data and methods are used to reconstruct the course of events during and after the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Tambora, Indonesia, on 10 and 11 April 1815, the world's greatest ash eruption since the end of the last Ice Age.

Cosmic Explosions
RECOGNITION of the nature of radio and ‘star’ galaxies has prompted many theoretical interpretations during recent years. The vast amount of energy emitted is difficult to account for on present…

Volcanic eruptions in the Mediterranean before A.D. 630 from written and archaeological sources
Written and archaeological sources from the Mediterranean region have been exhaustively searched for evidence of historical volcanism before the year A.D. 630. Volcanic eruptions are identified here…

Climatic and Demographic Consequences of the Massive Volcanic Eruption of 1258
Somewhere in the tropics, a volcanoexploded violently during the year 1258, producing amassive stratospheric aerosol veil that eventuallyblanketed the globe. Arctic and Antarctic ice coressuggest…

Mystery cloud of AD 536
Dry fogs appear in the atmosphere when large volcanic eruptions inject massive quantities of fine silicate ash and aerosol-forming sulphur gases into the troposphere and stratosphere. Although the…

The great dry fog of 1783
A persistent dry haze hung over Europe during the second half of 1783. Spawned by the Laki basalt fissure eruption in southern Iceland, this fog evoked much contemporary written commentary, from…

Flood Basalt Volcanism During the Past 250 Million Years
TLDR
There were 11 distinct episodes of major continental flood basalt volcanism during the past 250 million years, and the initiation dates of the episodes are close to the estimated dates of mass extinctions of marine organisms.

Terrestrial mass extinctions, cometary impacts and the Sun's motion perpendicular to the galactic plane
Episodes of mass extinctions on the Earth are now strongly suspected to be cyclical1. We report here that our analysis of the data of Raup and Sepkoski1 suggests that the dominant cyclicity in major…

Galactic disc dark matter, terrestrial impact cratering and the law of large numbers
A new approach is used to study the old question of missing mass in the Galactic disc. Invoking the law of large numbers, a simple average is formed of the many independent published values of the…
