Volcanologist Geoff Kilgour discusses the potential link between climate change and volcanic eruptions. The podcast explores how a warmer atmosphere may influence the earth's core and lead to increased volcanic activity. It also highlights the impact of climate change triggers, like heavy rain destabilizing lava domes, resulting in more dangerous eruptions. The episode emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary cooperation to understand the complex relationship between weather patterns and volcanic behavior.
