Active submarine volcanoes found near Fiji
Several huge active submarine volcanoes, spreading ridges and rift zones have been discovered northeast of Fiji by a team of Australian and American scientists aboard the Marine National Facility Research Vessel, Southern Surveyor. view more (2008-06-19)
Measurements link magma melting rate to tectonic plate subduction rate
Determining the origin and rate of magma production in subduction zone volcanoes is essential to understanding the formation of continental crust and the recycling of subducted materials back into Earth's mantle. view more (2007-11-09)
Reconstruction of a giant submarine slope-failure on the northern edge of New Zealand
The continental margins, submarine areas at the boundary between the continent and the oceanic abyssal floor are unstable. This instability is manifested by submarine slides or collapse events. These are sometimes catastrophic, taking away portions of coast down to the deep ocean floor or locally causing tsunami. Such slope-failures are rare in... view more... (2001-04-26)
Geologist Warms Up For Antarctic Expedition
It won't quite be a white Christmas for Professor Nick Petford, but the Kingston University geologist will see in the New Year in sub-zero temperatures. Professor Petford, from the Centre for Earth and Environmental Science Research, flies out to Antarctica on December 27 to investigate the ancient interiors of volcanoes. He has been selected as... view more... (2004-12-15)
Study outlines eruption at undersea volcano
An international team of scientists has presented its findings from the first observations of the eruption of a submarine volcano that in 2004 and 2005 spewed out plumes of sulfur-rich fluid and pulses of volcanic ash 550 meters below the ocean's surface near the Mariana Islands northwest of Guam. view more (2006-05-25)
New research to help guarantee future of oil supplies
Scientists at the University of Liverpool are working with leading oil companies to further understanding of the nature of oil and gas reservoirs within deeply buried submarine channels. view more (2006-01-05)
Scientists aim to unlock deep-sea 'secrets' of Earth's crust
Scientists from Durham University will use robots to explore the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to study the growth of underwater volcanoes that build the Earth's crust. view more (2008-05-14)
Marine researchers explore sediment highways
A European team of researchers has demonstrated that sediment is transported to the deep sea via canyons in the seabed. The sediment accumulates in the head of the submarine canyons. At the end of the canyons, mud avalanches disperse into the deep sea. Scientists from the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) presented their findings at an... view more... (2002-04-18)
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)
Asphalt flows from deep-sea volcanoes
New kind of volcano discovered in the Gulf of Mexico Underwater volcanoes that spew asphalt instead of lava: they were discovered in the Gulf of Mexico during an expedition of the research vessel SONNE, led by Prof. Gerhard Bohrmann of the DFG Research Center Ocean Margins. On these volcanoes the multinational team of scientists encountered a... view more... (2004-05-17)
Evidence from Hawaiian volcanoes shows that Earth recycles its crust
A geologist at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has come up with evidence our planet practices recycling on a grand scale. view more (2006-11-30)
Whiskers show seals the way
By using their whiskers (vibrissae) seals can find their way around in turbid waters: they are capable of detecting tiny movements caused by bodies moving under water over distances of up to 40 metres. This astonishing ability of these marine mammals has now been proved in behavioural experiments by biologists of the University of the Ruhr (Dr.... view more... (2001-07-06)
Tracking a hot spot
Using a state-of-the-art satellite imagery technique, researchers are able to more precisely predict volcanic activity, bringing them steps closer to understanding where an eruption may occur. view more (2007-05-18)
Robot submarine reveals secret stash of key Antarctic food source under sea ice
A robot submarine expedition under the Antarctic sea ice has discovered a major food reserve in the Southern Ocean. The findings, reported this week in SCIENCE, show a dense band of the shrimp-like krill under the ice, five times more concentrated than in open water. The importance of sea ice as a nursery for krill - key food for penguins, whales... view more... (2002-03-05)
Study uses satellite imagery to identify active magma systems in East Africa's Rift Valley
A team from the University of Miami, University of El Paso and University of Rochester have employed Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) images compiled over a decade to study volcanic activity in the African Rift. The study, published in the November issue of Geology, studies the section of the rift in Kenya. view more (2009-11-05)
Undersea channels studied to aid oil recovery
Typically, companies recover only 30 percent to 40 percent of the oil in a given reservoir. Since a single reservoir may contain a billion barrels total, increasing that "recovery efficiency" by even a single percentage point would mean a lot of additional oil. view more (2006-05-23)
ESA's Envisat captures breath of volcano
Indonesia's Mount Gamkonora volcano is spewing hot ash and smoke into the air, as seen in this image taken by the MERIS instrument aboard ESA's satellite Envisat, causing more than 8000 people to be evacuated amid fears of an imminent eruption, according to officials. view more (2007-07-12)
No Core In Volcanoes
A hot debate in the Earth Sciences is finally resolved in this week's issue of Nature. Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences at Bristol University show that large volcanoes do not contain material from the Earth's core. This overturns previous theories that conflicted with models of how the Earth's magnetic field is sustained. The... view more... (2004-01-12)
Durham geologists land funding for vital seabed survey equipment
Durham University researchers in Geological Sciences are set to focus their deep-sea surveying skills on shallower waters to produce new information that will help shipping, minerals and offshore oil industries. They are partners in a five-university project that has secured key funding in the latest package to upgrade the UK's research... view more... (2000-12-19)
NASA data show earthquakes may quickly boost regional volcanoes
Scientists using NASA satellite data have found strong evidence that a major earthquake can lead to a nearly immediate increase in regional volcanic activity. view more (2007-04-11)
