Synopsis
Large volcanic eruptions can dim the Sun and change global climate – cooling the surface and reducing harvests. The impacts on food security have sometimes been profound, leading to disease, migration and conflict. This film reveals how collaboration across the sciences, arts and humanities is shedding new light on our past.
Oppenheimer is a volcanologist and Professor of Volcanology at the University of Cambridge. His research caught the eye of director Werner Herzog, who included him in Encounters at the End of the World (2007).
