A massive volcanic eruption can cool the planet within months. What happens next may take centuries. Currently, this potential consequence is a large part of current research being conducted on the ...

Researchers discovered that continents don’t just split at the surface—they also peel from below, feeding volcanic activity in the oceans. Simulations reveal that slow mantle waves strip continental ...

Mark Clementz, a professor in the University of Wyoming Department of Geology and Geophysics, and colleagues have produced a compelling study that shows that an increase in volcanic activity in the ...

As part of a growing national effort -to understand seafloor hazards, scientists from the United States Geological Survey’s Volcano Science Center are working across agencies to investigate how ...

Nishinoshima Island, located in the Ogasawara Islands of Japan, is home to an active volcano. Ash from volcanic eruptions there in 2020 could have led to a temporary surge in phytoplankton levels in ...
