Between July 2023 and May 2024, satellites discovered surprising changes at Mount Taftan, a tall mountain near the ...

High over the island of Sicily, Mount Etna smolders as Europe’s most active volcano. Underneath its rough slopes, a network of magma chambers and fractures seethes in virtual quiet—until the earth ...

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 ...

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 ...

Volcanic activity bubbling away beneath the Yellowstone National Park in the US appears to be on the move. New research shows that the reservoirs of magma that fuel the supervolcano's wild outbursts ...

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 ...

Climate change is accelerating continental rifting, the geological process where landmasses slowly pull apart. According to a ...

International group of researchers involving geologists from Wits University (Prof. Rais Latypov and Dr. Sofya Chistyakova) in Johannesburg have come up with an unexpected conclusion that basaltic ...

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted again, with lava fountains reaching heights of up to 1,100 feet on Sunday (November 9). This marked Episode 36 of the ongoing eruption series that began in December ...

WASHINGTON — A geothermal-power company drilling a mile and a half deep on one of the Hawaiian Islands has encountered an undisturbed chamber of magma, or molten rock, scientists reported this week.

The Cornell Gazel Research Group has developed a rapid and accurate way to determine the depth of magma storage underneath volcanoes. The published research, led by Prof. Esteban Gazel, earth and ...

In an effort to better understand volcanic activity and its origins on Earth and beyond, University researchers have examined the creation of magma chambers to help explain why these chambers exist at ...
