Volcanic eruptions are dangerous and difficult to predict. A team at the University of Tokyo has found that the ratio of atoms in specific gases released from volcanic fumaroles (gaps in the Earth’s ...

Volcanic eruptions are dangerous and difficult to predict. A team has found that the ratio of atoms in specific gases released from volcanic fumaroles (gaps in the Earth's surface) can provide an ...

Understanding the explosive behaviour of volcanoes and the way magma rises through their conduit is one of the main challenges for volcanologists and could help with forecasting eruptions. Several ...

Volcanos are releasing ash and smoke into the atmosphere on three continents. That might be making you think back to your elementary school science class when you probably studied volcanoes and lava.

The Cornell Gazel Research Group has developed a rapid and accurate way to determine the depth of magma storage underneath volcanoes. The published research, led by Prof. Esteban Gazel, earth and ...

Q: Is all volcanic magma the same temperature? A: The temperature of magma inside a volcano — and of lava as it emerges — is highly variable and depends in part on the chemical composition of the ...
