A Comment on... Volcanoes in a Changing Global Climate It is highly speculative at present to predict how global climate change will transform the science of volcanology. Yet it is important that we begin to anticipate how the impacts of volcanoes will change, as population and precipitation patterns adjust to climate change during the 21st century. |
