| Abstract: |
Presents research which performed statistical analysis on the correlation of frequency of explosive activity of Mediterranean volcanoes to late Quaternary sea-level change. Reasons for tie between volcanic activity and Quaternary environmental change; Questions about longer episodes of eruption-induced planetary cooling; Nonlinear correlation between factors; Influence of ice sheets on eruptive chronologies of distant volcanic edifices through changes in global sea level. |
