VOLCANIC IMPACTS ON CLIMATE & SOCIETY (VICS)
Volcanic eruptions exert a major forcing on Earth’s climate and have repeatedly perturbed human society through history. St Andrews hosted international researchers and policy experts to examine the lessons these events can provide for climate science, societal response, and hazard management. Funded by PAGES, with logistical support and leadership from the GRC, the event also featured “war games” style scenario planning for managing the impacts of future eruptions.

The Centre for Changing Climates contributed to the People’s Emergency Briefing screening and panel discussion, hosted by Transition St Andrews, as part of a series of PEB events across the UK.
