Did Climate Change Help Collapse the Roman Empire?

In 536 A.D., a volcanic eruption kicked off one of the most dramatic cooling periods in history — the Late Antique Little Ice Age.

Now, new research led by Dr. Tom Gernon at the University of Southampton reveals how glacier-carried debris from Greenland ended up on Iceland’s shores, confirming that the climate shift was long-lasting and widespread.

The result? A chain reaction of crop failure, famine, migration, and war — contributing to the fall of the Roman Empire.
