In a book called In Control of Nature, John McPhee tells of people on Iceland protecting their harbor by pouring cold sea water onto the lava to cause it to solidify. It worked, but nature being what it is, one wonders for how long...

Also, there is a theory that volcanic eruptions, explosions, changed the temperature enough to destroy the vegetation that dinosaurs ate, hastening their demise.
