Volcanic eruptions remain one of Earth’s most dramatic natural phenomena, characterised by explosive discharges of ash, gas and pyroclastic materials that play a critical role in shaping the ...

1959 Kīlauea Iki eruption: It happened in the crater just north of the volcano’s caldera, lasting only about a month with 17 episodes and inclined lava fountains, including the highest lava fountains ...

Popocatépetl emerged in the crater of other volcanoes in its current form more than 20,000 years ago and has been active ...

In recent years, predictive technologies for volcanic eruptions have advanced significantly, particularly with the implementation of neural networks. These advanced algorithms are capable of ...

As global temperatures increase because of climate change, glaciers around the world are melting—contributing to rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, and habitat loss for all sorts of ...

Led by the University of Delaware’s Andrew Wozniak, associate professor in the School of Marine Science and Policy, a team of scientists recently witnessed a rare seafloor eruption 1,300 miles west of ...

Volcanoes are often framed as nature’s most violent spectacles, yet some of the largest on Earth ooze lava quietly for years without a single dramatic blast. Scientists have now pulled together a ...

On Monday morning local time, a huge cloud of ash, hot gas and rock fragments began spewing from Italy’s Mount Etna. An enormous plume was seen stretching several kilometres into the sky from the ...

Volcanic ash samples collected from a variety of recent eruptions were studied, using petrography, chemical analyses, and scanning electron microscopy to characterize each ash type and to relate ash ...

The latest Mount Etna eruption triggered an avalanche of volcanic material and sent ash miles into the air. Spectacular photos and videos capture the eruption of Europe's largest active volcano. When ...
