Etna's at it again - but authorities say it poses no danger to surrounding villages

Residents of St. Vincent and the Grenadines have been told to remain alert a Caribbean volcano came back to life. La Soufrière is the highest point in St. Vincent and is located near the northern tip of the country but remained dormant for decades before beginning to spew ash on Tuesday this week, AP reported.

A mysterious, previously undiscovered supervolcano may be lurking beneath Alaska’s Aleutian Islands. A new study suggests a wide crater, created when the supervolcano exploded, connects at least four existing volcanoes. It’s so big that if the supervolcano erupted during the last few thousand years, it could have disrupted civilizations around the world, says John Power, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Alaska Volcano Observatory. Power presents the findings at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union on December 7.

Specially-adapted drones, developed by an international team involving scientists from the University of Cambridge, are transforming how we forecast eruptions

The brain cells of a young man who died almost 2,000 years ago in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius have been found intact by a team of researchers in Italy.

Huge volcanic eruptions 233 million years ago pumped carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapour into the atmosphere. This series of violent explosions, on what we now know as the west coast of Canada, led to massive global warming.

A new study identified 37 recently active volcanic structures on Venus. The study provides some of the best evidence yet that Venus is still a geologically active planet. A research paper on the work, which was conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland and the Institute of Geophysics at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, was published in the journal Nature Geoscience on July 20, 2020.

“Sharkcano” isn’t the latest trashy summer movie with bad special effects. It’s the very real phenomenon of sharks making a home in lava water, and now a Nat Geo special.

Their trends suggest that the next eruption won’t happen for a long time

In a new study, published in the journal Nature, an international team of scientists provide the first conclusive evidence directly linking deep Earth’s water cycle with magmatic productivity and earthquake activity.

It’s been 40 years since the sideways explosion that changed volcanology forever.

New research shows that every 7 to 12 minutes, a small, and safe, earthquake occurs beneath the Mauna Kea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Last December, around 100 tourists set out for New Zealand's Whakaari/White Island, where an active volcano has attracted hundreds of thousands of vacationers since the early 1990s. It was supposed to be a routine six-hour tour, including the highlight: a quick hike into the island's otherworldly caldera. Then the volcano exploded. What happened next reveals troubling questions about the risks we're willing to take when lives hang in the balance.

It could be tried again if the city of Hilo comes under threat, although many object to such airstrikes.

In today's world, where even basic facts are being distorted and disputed depending on one's partisan lens, misinformation runs rampant on social media. And there's no topic for which that is truer than the most partisan issue of all in the U.S. today: climate change. This week, a false claim about volcanoes posted on Twitter went viral. The tweet claimed that Tuesday's eruption of Mt. Merapi in Indonesia "spewed more CO2 than every car driven in history. Climate change is natural."

Previous studies suggest volcanic winter caused a population bottleneck 74,000 years ago.

Eruption 37,000 years ago may have sparked a legend about four giants

The seismic rumblings of the Philippines’ second most active volcano hold clues to what it might do

Mysterious seismic hums detected around the world were likely caused by an unusual geologic event — the rumblings of a magma-filled reservoir deep under the Indian Ocean, a new study finds. These odd hums were an unconventional geologic birth announcement. A few months after the sounds rippled around the Earth, a new underwater volcano was born off the coast of the island of Mayotte, located between Madagascar and Mozambique in the Indian Ocean.

Eruption-induced cooling likely exacerbated the “Scottish ills” of the late 1690s
