TY - JOUR PY - 1979// TI - Can rapid climatic change cause volcanic eruptions? JO - Science A1 - Rampino, M. R. A1 - Self, S. A1 - Fairbridge, R. W. SP - 826 EP - 829 VL - 206 IS - 4420 N2 - Many major volcanic eruptions coincide with cooling trends of decadal or longer duration that began significantly before the eruptions. Dust veils provide positive feedback for short-term (less than 10 year) global cooling, but seem unlikely to trigger glaciations or even minor climate fluctuations in the 10-to 100-year range. On the contrary, variations in climate lead to stress changes on the earth's crust-for instance, by loading and unloading of ice and water masses and by axial and spin-rate changes that might augment volcanic (and seismic) potential.
