Melting glaciers may be silently setting the stage for more explosive and frequent volcanic eruptions in the future, according to research on six ...

Scientists in Iceland are aiming to drill 1.3 miles into the earth's crust to a volcano's magma chamber in order to source huge amounts of geothermal energy.

The magma reservoir beneath Yellowstone volcano consists of two chambers — a shallow reservoir near the surface that's around 55 miles (90 kilometers) long and 25 miles (40 km) wide, and a ...

For decades, scientists believed that magma chambers beneath volcanoes were transient, forming before an eruption and then ...

Scientists in Iceland want to drill straight into an underground magma chamber. The project could offer clues about how volcanoes work, as well as create geothermal energy. The biggest hurdles are ...

A study published Oct. 22, 2022, in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems revealed that the previously undetected magma chamber growing beneath the Kolumbo volcano could lead to another ...

The magma chamber can then be slowly expanded and refilled over time as the crust melts gradually. “If we had a better general understanding of where magma was, ...

These magma chambers are only temporary storage places with magma and gases, and are not where the magma originally came from. The origin is much deeper in Earth's mantle , perhaps more than 620 ...

Scientists in Iceland have come up with an ambitious plan to drill into a volcano’s magma chamber to source an abundant amount of clean, super-hot geothermal energy.. The project, which would be ...
