Yellowstone National Park sits atop one of Earth’s largest volcanic systems, and right now that system is slowly reshaping the ground. Instruments show that the Yellowstone caldera is inflating into a ...

The project, which would be a scientific first if successful, would see boreholes drilled about 1.3 miles down through the earth’s crust at a volcano known as Krafla, located in the northeast of ...

The future of geology — and maybe even renewable energy — is heating up, literally. Scientists in Iceland are steaming ahead with an ambitious project to drill straight down into a magma chamber that ...

Anaheim, Calif., USA: For over a century, the concept of a shallow magma chamber—a large magma-filled cavity just ~5 km under the base of a volcano—has been the foundation for igneous petrology and ...

A new study has uncovered a previously undetected magma chamber beneath Kolumbo, an active submarine volcano in the Mediterranean Sea near Santorini, Greece. A group of international researchers used ...
