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.
