The NASA Earth Observatory has been doing an excellent job ofmonitoring the eruption at Eritrea's Nabro using all their eyes in the sky. The latest image, taken from the EO-1 Advanced Land Imager (see ...

The 2018 Kilauea eruption provided scientists with an unprecedented opportunity to identify new factors that could help forecast the hazard potential of future eruptions. “The study is very unusual ...

The properties of the magma inside a volcano affect how an eruption will play out. In particular, the viscosity of this molten rock is a major factor in influencing how hazardous an eruption could be ...

A spectacular proof of our planet's activity, calderas are huge topographic depressions, similar to flat-bottomed craters, with a diameter of several tens of kilometres. They are formed by large ...

Mixing between magmas is thought to affect a variety of processes, from the growth of continental crust to the triggering of volcanic eruptions, but its thermophysical viability remains unclear. Here, ...

April 7 (UPI) --Scientists were able to estimate the viscosity of magma inside Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano by studying fault movements before and during the volcano's eruption in 2018. The breakthrough, ...

Another evening, another eerie glow atop Italy's Mount Etna. The eruptions rocketing from volcanic craters atop Etna's summit suffuse dark nights with a fiery aura as lava jets into the air. Subscribe ...
