Predicting volcanic eruptions before they occur is valuable for obvious reasons. The earlier scientists detect signs of an imminent eruption, the more time people will have to evacuate potentially ...

Fast moving and unpredictable, volcanic tsunamis can devastate entire coastlines ...

Geographers and dendrochronologists teamed up in a cross-disciplinary study to look at the correlation between tree rings and volcanic eruptions, reports the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow ...

Simon Carn studies carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions from volcanoes using remote sensing. Carn notes that monitoring emissions from volcanoes is a useful indicator to predict when volcanoes ...

Forecasting volcanic eruptions in time to alert authorities and populations remains a major global challenge. In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers and engineers from the Institut ...

Hovering over the volcano, a buzzing drone pauses in front of a laser beam on the crater's edge, as researchers test whether the devices can measure gases to predict eruptions. On the Aeolian island ...

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 ...

Volcano monitoring tracks seismic activity and magma shifts to predict eruptions, safeguarding communities from ash, lava, and lahars. Sergey Guk/Pexels ...

Understanding what triggers large volcanic eruptions is crucial for hazard assessment, but the exact mechanism driving these eruptions is still poorly understood. The prevailing theory is that ...
