Volcanic activity may have worsened the spread of the Black Death in medieval Europe. A study in Communications Earth & Environment suggests that climatic cooling and famine prompted Italian city-states to import grain from the Black Sea, potentially carrying the plague bacterium. 🏺 ⚒️ 🧪
Climate-driven changes in Mediterranean grain trade mitigated famine but introduced the Black Death to medieval Europe - Communications Earth & Environment
Post-volcanic climate downtown in southern Europe around 1345–1347 CE caused widespread famine, leading to Italian maritime republics importing grain from the Black Sea region and introducing fleas carrying the plague bacterium that caused the Black Death, according to tree ring analysis and documentary sources.

River drought forcing of the Harappan metamorphosis - Communications Earth & Environment
Hydroclimatic variations significantly influenced the Indus Valley Civilization's rise and fall, with warmer, drier conditions during pre-Harappan to late-Harappan periods leading to human migration and settlement, according to analysis of paleoclimate and palaeohydrological simulations.
