Marine scientists return from expedition to erupting undersea volcano
Scientists who have just returned from an expedition to an erupting undersea volcano near the Island of Guam report that the volcano appears to be continuously active, has grown considerably in size during the past three years, and its activity supports a unique biological community thriving despite the eruptions. view more (2009-05-06)
Cornell study of ancient volcano, seeds and tree rings, suggests rewriting Late Bronze Age Mediterranean history
Separated in history by 100 years, the seafaring Minoans of Crete and the mercantile Canaanites of northern Egypt and the Levant (a large area of the Middle East) at the eastern end of the Mediterranean were never considered trading partners at the start of the Late Bronze Age. Until now. view more (2006-05-01)
Atmospheric 'Sunshade' Could Reduce Solar Power Generation
The concept of delaying global warming by adding particles into the upper atmosphere to cool the climate could unintentionally reduce peak electricity generated by large solar power plants by as much as one-fifth, according to a new NOAA study. The findings appear in this week's issue of Environmental Science and Technology. view more (2009-03-12)
Journal of Geological Society salutes Young Author 2003
The Geological Society of London's flagship journal has chosen Ingrid Ukstins Peate to be Journal of the Geological Society Young Author of the Year 2003. The award was given for the paper The transition from sedimentation to flood volcanism in the Kangerlussuaq Basin, East Greenland, published in the September 2003 issue (see below for full... view more...

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)
Stratospheric injections could help cool Earth, computer model shows
A two-pronged approach to stabilizing climate, with cuts in greenhouse gas emissions as well as injections of climate-cooling sulfates, could prove more effective than either approach used separately. view more (2006-09-15)
Dinosaur Deaths Outsourced to India?
A series of monumental volcanic eruptions in India may have killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, not a meteor impact in the Gulf of Mexico. view more (2007-10-31)
EARLY HOMINOIDS MAY HAVE SUFFERED DEATH BY VOLCANO
Geological re-evaluation of deposits in which fossils of the human precursor Proconsul have long been found suggests that they lived in a semi-arid environment close to a then-active volcano (Kisingiri). Moreover the abundant hominoid fossils may represent "death assemblages" - whole populations wiped out simultaneously by "glowing cloud"... view more... (1999-04-28)
Historic volcanic eruption shrunk the mighty Nile River
Volcanic eruptions in high latitudes can greatly alter climate and distant river flows, including the Nile, according to a recent study funded in part by NASA. view more (2006-11-22)
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)
Volcanoes, asteroids and mass extinctions
Neither massive volcanic eruptions nor extraterrestrial impacts are sufficiently powerful on their own to cause mass extinctions of life on Earth, research by University of Leicester geologists suggests. Instead, both events coincidentally occurring together may be required to cause the worst mass extinctions. In the last 300 million years, life... view more... (2004-05-17)
Scripps Researchers Rediscover Elusive Site of Exploding Volcanic Rocks
In 1960, Scripps oceanographer Dale Krause reported the discovery of extraordinary deep-sea volcanic rocks in waters off Mexico, near Guadalupe Island, approximately 200 miles south of San Diego. view more (2005-10-17)
Geologist plans volcano safety for Ecuadorians
A geologist at Washington University in St. Louis is doing his part to make sure that the small Latin American country of Ecuador follows the Boy Scout motto: Be prepared. view more (2007-08-22)
Satellite methods for monitoring volcanic activity in the Andes Cordillera
The central part of the Andes situated between southern Peru and Chile bears 50 active or potentially volcanoes, spread along a 1500 km-long arc. These volcanic structures mostly rise to between 4000 and 7000 m, are very remote with abrupt slopes and are often cloaked in snow. view more (2007-10-08)
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)
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)
Renewed volcanic activity at the Phlegrean Fields tracked by Envisat
Satellite images acquired by ESA's Envisat satellite have revealed the volcanic region of the Phlegrean Fields, located in southern Italy near the city of Naples, has entered a new uplift phase. view more (2006-08-22)
Geologists discover signs of volcanoes blowing their tops in the deep ocean
A research team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) has uncovered evidence of explosive volcanic eruptions deep beneath the ice-covered surface of the Arctic Ocean. view more (2008-06-26)
Discovered: World's Largest Tsunami Debris
A line of massive boulders on the western shore of Tonga may be evidence of the most powerful volcano-triggered tsunami found to date. Up to 9 meters (30 feet) high and weighing up to 1.6 million kilograms (3.5 million pounds), the seven coral boulders are located 100 to 400 meters (300 to 1,300 feet) from the coast. view more (2008-09-26)
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)
