Claudia Wieners on the devastation caused by an historic volcanic eruption in Iceland and the lessons we might learn for future SRM deployment

A fascinating insight into the effects of the Lakagígar eruption in Iceland in 1783. Claudia discusses in detail the fallout on fauna and flora and also what we might learn in terms of readiness for SRM deployment and the broader governance of the potential downsides.  Her paper can be found at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2020.107080 and it has the best title of any paper I've seen for a long time  being "Haze, Hunger, Hesitation: Disaster Aid after the 1783 Lakagígar Eruption"  Comments and suggestions are always welcome @reviewer2geo  or [email protected] or as always to me @clare_nomad_geo or Andrew @geoengineering1 Please get in touch if you would like to come on the show as a guest or guest host.
