Expert challenges earthquake theory behind Indonesian mud volcano
A leading expert today repeated his assertion that an Indonesian mud volcano was almost certainly manmade despite a new study claiming the eruption might have been triggered by an earthquake. view more (2007-08-01)
Conclusive vote on cause of Indonesian mud volcano
A resounding vote of international petroleum geologists from around the globe concluded that the mud volcano was triggered by drilling of a nearby gas exploration well. view more (2008-10-31)
Better living through chemistry
Scientists have completed the first study of microbes that live within the plumbing of deep-sea mud volcanoes in the Gulf of Mexico, where conditions may resemble those in extraterrestrial environments and early Earth. view more (2009-04-08)
Hecates Tholus Volcano In 3D
Hecates Tholus volcano as seen by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Mars Express during orbit 32 from an altitude of 275 km. The 3D image on the left requires stereoscopic (red/green) glasses to view. See: http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMTXD2PGQD_0.html The colour image (with north at the top) shows the summit caldera of... view more... (2004-03-01)
The year of the Alaska volcano: Eruptions keep observatory busy
Three Alaska volcanoes erupted in midsummer 2008. Cleveland, Okmok and Kasatochi volcanoes, all located in Alaska's Aleutian Chain, made for a hectic 20th anniversary for the Alaska Volcano Observatory. view more (2008-12-17)
Scientists find that lightning is good indicator of volcanic activity
Although it's been more than a year since Mount Augustine had its memorable eruption, work continues for University of Alaska Fairbanks researchers. The work of Alaska Volcano Observatory employees from UAF's Geophysical Institute will be appearing in the upcoming issue of the journal Science. view more (2007-03-29)
Departure to cold water corals and other 'hot spots'
The research vessel, Polarstern leaves Bremerhaven for its 22nd Arctic expedition with a new shine, to begin its first work in the International polar year. view more (2007-05-25)
Dramatic developments at Kilauea Volcano: Scientists work to keep public safe and informed
Explosive eruptions and noxious gas emissions at Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii this week have prompted scientists to work around the clock to understand what will happen next and how to keep the public out of harm's way. view more (2008-03-28)
When will Mount St Helens erupt?
Research reported in Science today (14 October 2004) shows that rocks erupted from the Mount St Helens volcano in 1980 preserve a remarkable record of the goings-on beneath the volcano in the period prior to its eruption. view more (2004-10-12)
Japan reports first coring operations of CHIKYU
The deep-sea scientific drilling vessel CHIKYU, owned by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and provided to the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program-jointly funded by Japan and the United States-has recently undergone successful testing operations. view more (2005-12-19)
Life in the extreme
Cold seeps are deep-sea environments, usually a few square meters in size, where fluid is released through slow diffusion from the sea floor. Mud volcanoes which are active areas of fluid seepage, are other extreme environments discovered in the 1990s. These harsh conditions give rise to some of the most extreme and scientifically challenging... view more... (2006-11-09)
Waste water treatment plant mud used as 'green' fuel
Catalan scientists have shown that using mud from waste water treatment plants as a partial alternative fuel can enable cement factories to reduce their CO2 emissions and comply with the Kyoto Protocol, as well as posing no risk to human health and being profitable. view more (2009-06-24)
Volcano-like tremors detected deep within Earth's crust near San Andreas
Tremors within the Earth are usually-but not always-related to the activity of a volcano. Now, such vibrations have been recorded nowhere near a volcano, but at a geologic observatory at the San Andreas Fault. view more (2006-04-13)
Smithsonian identifies invasive crab species in Panama Canal expansion area
A Smithsonian scientist and colleague report that a potentially harmful, invasive crab species that has spread to several countries is now established and reproducing in Panama. view more (2007-09-20)
First evidence of under-ice volcanic eruption in Antarctica
The first evidence of a volcanic eruption from beneath Antarctica's most rapidly changing ice sheet is reported this week in the journal Nature Geosciences. The volcano on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet erupted 2000 years ago (325BC) and remains active. view more (2008-01-21)
Extinct may not be forever for some species of Galapagos tortoises
Yale scientists report that genetic traces of extinct species of Galapagos tortoises exist in descendants now living in the wild, a finding that could spur breeding programs to restore the species, The report appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-09-23)
From Earth To Sky For Aircraft Safety
Research into hazards to aircraft from volcanic ashclouds during explosive eruptions has been recognised by the "Fondation Belge de la Vocation" (FBV). Dr Gerald Ernst, Lecturer in Earth Sciences at Bristol University, has been awarded the 2002 "Golden Clover Prize" (Trefle d`Or). The Golden Clover Prize is the most prestigious award made by the... view more... (2002-06-06)
Predicting Volcanic Eruptions
The weather forecast could help predict volcanic eruptions, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA). Scientists from UEA`s School of Environmental Sciences found that intense rainfall can trigger volcanic dome collapse - a particular type of eruption that occurs when a build-up of molten rock inside the side of the... view more...

Off the shelf maps help mitigate volcanic hazards
When volcanoes erupt, pinpointing the regions at high risk for lethal hazards and deciding whether or not to evacuate a resistant population comprise the most difficult problems faced by hazards managers. Now a team of volcanologists has a program that maps potential problem areas quickly, taking much of the guesswork out of decision making and... view more... (2009-01-22)
UB Geologists to Help Communicate the Dangers of Colombian Volcano
During the past decade, residents of Pasto, Colombia, and neighboring villages near Galeras, Colombia's most dangerous volcano, have been threatened with evacuation, but compliance varies. view more (2009-07-01)
