Researchers from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory show that the “warming hiatus” that has occurred over the last 15 years has been caused in part…
MIT scientists used precisely dated rocks from the Deccan Traps to reveal evidence that a major volcanic eruption began just before the asteroid impact that…
A new study from MIT shows that the effects of smaller eruptions have been underestimated in climate models, revealing that relatively small volcanic eruptions can…
Scientists have confirmed that the northwest Pacific is home to the largest single volcano yet documented on Earth. Houston – A University of Houston (UH)…
The state of the lava lake in the Halema’uma’u Crater at Kilauea is now at its highest level since its formation in 2008, reaching 50…
Scientists have been trying to figure out exactly what the future entails for the Yellowstone caldera. Unlike other more speculative theories, this most recent study…
There has been renewed activity at Fuego in Guatemala. The eruption is becoming more intense, although news reports coming out of the region are unclear…
By examining data from NASA’s Voyager and Galileo missions and incorporating infrared data obtained from telescopes on Earth, astronomers discovered that the heat pouring out…
