Researchers analyzing Magellan spacecraft radar images discovered a changing volcanic vent on Venus, providing new evidence of active volcanism on the planet. Researchers have identified…
Researchers have made long-term volcano monitoring a possibility by creating a more efficient and cost-effective camera. Gas emissions are a manifestation of the activity taking…
Bronze-age underwater volcanic deposits are helping researchers understand the size, hazards, and climate impact of massive caldera-forming eruptions. The findings will guide the development of…
Volcanic eruptions millions of years apart wiped out much of life on Earth. Massive volcanic eruptions millions of years apart caused two mass extinctions during…
An international team, led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE), has successfully dated some of the largest eruptions in history by analyzing medieval texts. While…
New Evidence That Venus Is Volcanically Active New research provides strong evidence of volcanic activity on Venus. The study identified a nearly 1-square-mile volcanic vent…
A team led by CU Boulder has uncovered a distinctive microbial community residing on the former island Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai. In 2015, an underwater…
In a first, scientists have seen direct evidence of active volcanism on Earth’s twin, setting the stage for the agency’s VERITAS mission to investigate. Direct…
The research uses archival NASA data to show that Venus may be losing heat from geologic activity in regions called coronae, possibly like early tectonic…
Imperial College London researchers have observed magma taking an unexpected route beneath volcanoes, shedding light on the processes behind eruptions. The findings were based on…
One year ago, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted, causing widespread destruction to the Pacific Island Nation of Tonga, spewing volcanic material up to 36…
New studies confirm mid-Cretaceous volcanism caused ocean acidification. New analyses of fossil plankton and sedimentary rock confirm that massive volcanic CO2 emissions triggered ocean acidification…
n the past, massive magma eruptions have led to the creation of large floods of basalt lava on the continents. It was previously believed that…
A chemical analysis of sediment cores from the North Pacific Ocean reveals a consistent pairing of volcanic ash and hypoxia, a low ocean oxygen interval…
Intense explosions at the summit sent avalanches of ash and mud racing down the southeastern flank of the Indonesian volcano. In early December 2022, the…
The Landsat 9 satellite acquired this image of the volcanic eruption as lava flowed past the Mauna Loa Observatory toward Saddle Road. On December 2,…
