Volcanoes and Global Climate Change

Abstract: A 7 page discussion of the immediate and long-term impacts of volcanic eruptions. This paper contends that while much of our concern regarding volcanic eruptions revolves around the immediate impacts to human life and property, a far more concerning aspect of these eruptions is long term impacts to the climate. These impacts can, in fact, do far more damage to the world as a whole than the immediate loss of human life and property which results with volcanic eruptions. An overview of volcanic processes is provided and related to the phenomena of global warming. Bibliography lists sources.
