When massive volcanic eruptions occur, they inject millions of tons of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, where it forms sulfate aerosols that scatter incoming solar radiation and result in global ...

Currently, scientists struggle to forecast volcano eruption events, as no universally reliable, real-time eruption forecasting framework is available. Instead, researchers often rely on retrospective ...

The Black Death — one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, estimated to have killed up to half of Europe’s population — might have been set in motion by a volcanic eruption, a new study ...

Researchers at Diamond Light Source have used advanced imaging to look at microscopic crystals, called nanolites, to see what they can tell us about volcanic eruptions. Highly explosive eruptions ...

The team behind "Jerk," a novel tool that predicted eruptions with 92% accuracy for a French volcano, discusses its work and implications. Reading time 5 minutes Science is a constant work in progress ...

This situation is heating up. One of the world’s most volatile volcanoes is silently refilling with molten rock, sparking fears that this caldera could be getting ready to unleash a torrent of lava, ...

If you were lucky 74,000 years ago, you would have survived the Toba supereruption, one of the largest catastrophic events that Earth has seen in the past 2.5 million years. While the volcano is ...
