Fire under the ice
An international team of researchers was able to provide evidence of explosive volcanism in the deeps of the ice-covered Arctic Ocean for the first time. view more (2008-06-26)
Rapid analysis could cut health risks of volcanic ash
A new, rapid and cheap way of estimating the potential risk posed to human health by volcanic ash has been devised by a Durham University expert. view more (2007-10-11)
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)
Great Indian Ocean earthquake of 2004 set off tremors in San Andreas fault
In the last few years there has been a growing number of documented cases in which large earthquakes set off unfelt tremors in earthquake faults hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of miles away. view more (2008-12-11)
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)
Volcanic eruptions, ancient global warming linked
A team of scientists announced today confirmation of a link between massive volcanic eruptions along the east coast of Greenland and in the western British Isles about 55 million years ago and a period of global warming that raised sea surface temperatures by five degrees (Celsius) in the tropics and more than six degrees in the Arctic. view more (2007-04-27)
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)
Volcanoes helped slow ocean warming trend, researchers find
Ocean temperatures might have risen even higher during the last century if it weren't for volcanoes that spewed ashes and aerosols into the upper atmosphere, researchers have found. The eruptions also offset a large percentage of sea level rise caused by human activity. view more (2006-02-10)
Hot volcanic eruptions could lead to a cooler Earth
Volcanic eruptions may be an agent of rapid and long-term climate change, according to new research by British scientists. view more (2005-06-13)
Study Compares Sound from Exploding Volcanoes with Jet Engines
New research on infrasound from volcanic eruptions shows an unexpected connection with jet engines. view more (2009-04-09)
Geologists witness unique volcanic mudflow in action in New Zealand
Volcanologist Sarah Fagents from the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa had an amazing opportunity to study volcanic hazards first hand, when a volcanic mudflow broke through the banks of a volcanic lake at Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand. view more (2007-07-16)
Ancient volcanic eruptions caused global mass extinction
A previously unknown giant volcanic eruption that led to global mass extinction 260million years ago has been uncovered by scientists at the University of Leeds. view more (2009-05-29)
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)
Mars Express mission extended
ESA's Mars Express mission has been extended by one Martian year, or about 23 months, from the beginning of December 2005. view more (2005-09-23)
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)
Lucky break gives scientists unique view of underwater eruption
A combination of luck and being in the right place at the right time allowed a University of Florida geologist and other scientists to capture and record an undersea volcanic eruption for the first time ever. view more (2006-11-27)
Rare volcanic plumes create uncommonly dangerous ash flows
Three unique photographs of a recent volcanic eruption in a remote part of Ecuador show a plume unlike any previously documented, and hint at a newly recognized hazard. view more (2006-03-15)
European satellites provide new insight into ozone-depleting chemical species
Using data from the MIPAS and GOME-2 satellite instruments, scientists have for the first time detected important bromine species in the atmosphere. view more (2009-02-26)
Yellowstone's Ancient Supervolcano: Only Lukewarm?
The geysers of Yellowstone National Park owe their eistence to the "Yellowstone hotspot"--a region of molten rock buried deep beneath Yellowstone, geologists have found. view more (2008-08-28)
Aurorae and Volcanic Eruptions
Impressive thermal-infrared images have been obtained of the giant planet Jupiter during tests of a new detector in the ISAAC instrument on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory (Chile). They show in particular the full extent of the northern auroral ring and part of the southern aurora. A volcanic eruption was also imaged... view more... (2001-06-07)
