Volcanoes can behave in strikingly different ways, even when they appear nearly identical. Some release slow, steady lava flows.

Volcanic processes in oceanic plateaus are dominated by high-volume, often short-lived eruptions linked to mantle plume activity and interactions with mid-ocean ridges. Magma ascent can occur through ...

Volcano Watch” is a weekly article and activity update written by U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory ...

Scientists at The University of Manchester have effectively simulated how bubbles grow in volcanic magma thanks to a novel pressure vessel that can mimic the eruption process in a laboratory setting.

Subduction zones host some of the most dynamic volcanic systems on Earth, driven by the descent of an oceanic plate beneath a continental or another oceanic plate. Fluid release from the downgoing ...

A new instrument type has discovered evidence of a volcanic process on the Moon that had only been seen on Earth. “Before the 1950’s, most scientists thought the craters on the Moon were from ...

A giant mound near the Moon’s south pole appears to be a volcanic structure unlike any other found on the lunar surface, according to new research. The formation, known as Mafic Mound, stands about ...

Remote sensing of volcanoes and volcanic processes: integrating observations and modelling -- introduction / D.M. Pyle, T.A. Mather and J. Biggs -- Applicability of InSAR to tropical volcanoes: ...

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is part of the U.S. Geological Survey, the science agency of the U.S. Department of Interior. Our job is to obtain and share science-based information about the ...

Latitudinally corrected 3-GHz TA shown at midnight local time. (a) These data show a clear localized antenna temperature (TA) enhancement of about 9 degrees Kelvin centered on the mapped ...
