Volcanic eruptions contributed to collapse of China dynasties
Volcanic eruptions contributed to the collapse of dynasties in China in the last 2,000 years by temporarily cooling the climate and affecting agriculture, according to a Rutgers co-authored study. Large eruptions create a cloud that blocks some sunlight for a year or two. That reduces warming of the land in Asia in the summer and […]
Engineering, Data Science and Mathematical Models to Optimize Wind Energy Farms
