Volcanic eruptions are significant geologic hazards. Underwater volcanoes are challenging to study, yet they play an integral ...

Researchers have identified 138 candidate subglacial volcanoes hidden beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, 91 of which had never been recognized before, raising serious questions about what happens ...

Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, located in Hawaii, spectacularly erupted last week, spewing lava fountains that leapt into the air for over seven hours nonstop. This eruption ...

Scientists are sounding the alarm about Lake Toba, the Indonesian supervolcano that makes the Yellowstone caldera look small ...

When referred to as a gas, it means a volatile has transitioned into the vapor phase. The most common gases (or vapor phase volatiles) emitted at the surface are water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ...

Fluid inclusions in volcanoes are dominantly composed of carbon dioxide. At magmatic temperatures — 2,192 degrees — the density of the carbon dioxide strongly depends on pressure, which is influenced ...

Research shows Mars volcanoes erupted as recently as 50 million years ago, with underground magma chambers that cooked for 9 million years.

While the chance for an eruption is extremely low, the supervolcano is still likely to blame. A 2025 study from the United States Geological Survey determined that Yellowstone’s magma chamber ...

ABSTRACT: Los Humeros is a Pleistocene caldera in the eastern portion of the Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt, exploited for geothermal resources for over five decades, presently providing over 90 MWe. We ...
