Remote sensing of the subsurface between a Cistercian abbey and a medieval grange
Cistercian abbeys are known for their complex, subterranean networks of pipes, drains and tunnels. While much of this infrastructure would have been for the transport of water, and removal of waste, tunnels could have been used for other purposes – including concealment, evasion or escape. In this paper, we showcase the use of remote sensing to detect linear and geometric subsurface features between the Cistercian abbey of Aunay in Normandy and L…
From storytelling to resilience
Science in a crisis
In the 1930s Montserrat, part of the British Leeward Islands colony, experienced a prolonged period of seismic unrest which many on the island interpreted as presaging a volcanic eruption. During the crisis several international scientists visited Montserrat and advised the local and imperial authorities on the likelihood of an eruption, and the island became a key node in an increasingly global volcanology. The process of assembling reliable kno…

Disaster aid? Mapping historical responses to volcanic eruptions from 1800–2000 in the English‐speaking Eastern Caribbean
This paper uses volcanic eruptions on the Caribbean islands of Montserrat and Saint Vincent to explore the role that British colonial rule in the past and near past (1800–2000) has played in response to and recovery from hazardous events, and in turn, the influence that the nature of the hazards has on these responses. It shows that systemic vulnerabilities to natural hazards have been created by inadequate aid responses and longer‐term chronic p…
Accumulating evidence using crowdsourcing and machine learning
The study of existential risk — the risk of human extinction or the collapse of human civilization — has only recently emerged as an integrated field of research, and yet an overwhelming volume of relevant research has already been published. To provide an evidence base for policy and risk analysis, this research should be systematically reviewed. In a systematic review, one of many time-consuming tasks is to read the titles and abstracts of rese…
Small volcanic eruptions and the stratospheric sulfate aerosol burden
Understanding of volcanic activity and its impacts on the atmosphere has evolved in discrete steps, associated with defining eruptions. The eruption of Krakatau, Indonesia, in August 1883 was the first whose global reach was recorded through observations of atmospheric phenomena around the world (Symons 1888). The rapid equatorial spread of Krakatau's ash cloud revealed new details of atmospheric circulation, while the vivid twilights and other o…

Cultural Responses to the Volcanic Landscape
The geology around Rome is largely a result of recent geodynamic processes \naffecting the western Mediterranean area. The geomorphology is mainly \ndue to the Quaternary explosive activity of two volcanic districts, the \nSabatini to the northeast and the Colli Albani to the southeast. Both deposited \nsequences of pyroclastic flows creating a flat and regular morphology that was \nsubsequently deeply excavated by postglacial erosional processes…
An Exceptionally Thick Middle Pleistocene Tephra Layer from Epirus, Greece
A newly recognized 2-m-thick trachytic volcanic ash deposit from northwestern Greece is dated at 374,000 ± 7000 yr and correlated with the Middle Pleistocene volcanic activity of central Italy. The deposit represents ash fallout from one of the largest volcanic eruptions in Europe of the past 400,000 yr and should provide an important stratigraphic marker within the poorly dated Middle Pleistocene deposits of Italy and Greece.
