Abstract

The article reports on research which Christine Lane of the University of Oxford in England conducted in 2013 to investigate the climatic effects of the Toba supervolcano which erupted 75,000 years ago on the island of Sumatra. Research which geophysicist Alan Robock of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey and Hans-F. Graf of the University of Cambridge in England conducted and led to conclusions about supervolcanoes and climate change which differ from Lane's, is discussed.
