We’ll Only Have a Year to Prepare For a Cataclysmic Super-Eruption
A new microscopic analysis of quartz crystals taken from the site of a massive volcanic eruption that occurred 760,000 years ago in eastern California suggests we’ll only have about a year’s worth of advance warning before a devastating super-eruption.
