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...

Volcanic aerosol clouds and gases lead to ozone destruction
Volcanic eruptions destroy ozone and create 'mini-ozone holes', according to two new studies by researchers at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford. view more (2006-11-09)
Classic experiments give new insight on life's origin
The building blocks of life may have emerged in volcanic eruptions on the early Earth, according to a new analysis of classic experiments performed more than fifty years ago. view more (2008-10-17)
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)
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)
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 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)
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)
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)
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)
Opening Atlantic Leaves Scots Isle Platinum Rich
The Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) are contained in mineral grains from the Rum Layered Intrusion, which represents the eroded roots of a once large volcano. They were formed deep in the crust as a plume of molten rock pushed up from deep within the Earth, causing huge volcanic eruptions, as well as hastening the break-up of North America from... view more...

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)
Tornado-like rotation is key to understanding volcanic plumes
A 200-year-old report by a sea captain and photographs of the 2008 eruption of Mount Chaiten are helping scientists better understand strong volcanic plumes. view more (2009-03-26)
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)
Earth, Wind and Volcanoes - Disaster Science
Ash with Altitude "Volcanic ash, ejected into the stratosphere and spread horizontally by the winds, can cause serious damage to aircraft engines and sensors," says Dr Charles Sprinkle of the US National Weather Service. Modern jet engines operate at such high temperatures that volcanic ash ingested can melt, stick to the turbines and... view more... (1999-10-26)
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)
Coal-mining hazard resembles explosive volcanic eruption, study shows
Worldwide, thousands of workers die every year from mining accidents, and instantaneous coal outbursts in underground mines are among the major killers. But although scientists have been investigating coal outbursts for more than 150 years, the precise mechanism is still unknown. view more (2009-10-01)
From Europa To Sedna - Life Beneath The Ice In The Outer Solar System?
At present, we know of no worlds beyond our Earth where life exists. However, primitive organisms on our planet have evolved and adapted over billions of years, colonising the most inhospitable places. Since life seems to gain a foothold in the most hostile environments, it seems distinctly possible that living organisms could exist in... view more... (2004-03-25)
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)
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)
