A convergence of volcanic eruptions, seismic clustering research, and overdue fault lines has scientists paying closer attention to the Pacific Ring of Fire than at any point in recent memory. The ...
The Ring of Fire is an enormous belt of active and dormant volcanoes that surrounds most of the Pacific Ocean. It runs from southern Chile, up the west coast of the Americas, through the islands off ...
A volcano that has been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years could be gearing up for a massive explosion, according to new research. Scientists have measured signs of unrest at the Taftan ...
A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Haijiang from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in collaboration with Dr. Robert Myhill from the University of Bristol, utilized tele-seismic ...
Explosive volcanic eruptions can influence the climate for years – for example, through ash and sulphur particles injected into the atmosphere that reduce solar radiation. Conversely, geological ...
