We may be much nearer to a cataclysmic volcanic ‘super-eruption’ than previously thought, warns new research.<\/p>\n

That is the conclusion of Bristol University scientists after analysing a database of geological records dated within the last 100,000 years.<\/p>\n

They discovered the average time between so-called volcanic super-eruptions is actually much less than previously understood.<\/p>\n

Volcanoes and ‘bolides’ – such as asteroids – are geohazards powerful enough to be destructive on a global scale.<\/p>\n

One recent assessment described them as capable of returning humanity to a ‘pre-civilisation’ state.<\/p>\n

The largest explosive eruptions are termed ‘super-eruptions’, and produce in excess of 1,000 gigatons of erupted mass – enough to blanket an entire continent with volcanic ash, and change global weather patterns for decades.<\/p>\n
