Abstract for: 1816, A Year Without Summer.
This study delves into the repercussions of the 1816 event, "A Year Without Summer," caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora. The volcanic activity led to a significant reduction in sunlight, resulting in global consequences affecting agriculture, human survival, and societal structures. Utilizing a system dynamics model, the paper explores the dynamics of this historical event and its potential implications if a similar occurrence were to transpire today. The study presents a virtual experience to be discussed at the conference, aiming to shed light on the interconnectedness of environmental events and societal responses.
