A major discovery beneath Yellowstone National Park has revealed a magma cap located nearly 2.4 miles below the surface, which could help prevent a massive volcanic eruption. Using advanced seismic ...

When referred to as a gas, it means a volatile has transitioned into the vapor phase. The most common gases (or vapor phase volatiles) emitted at the surface are water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ...

When tens of thousands of earthquakes shook Santorini, the cause wasn’t just shifting tectonic plates—it was rising magma. Scientists tracked about 300 million cubic meters of molten rock pushing up ...

COLDWATER RIDGE VISITOR CENTER, Wash. — Thermal images of Mount St. Helens, along with the detection of potentially explosive gases and continued tremors early Sunday morning, indicated that new magma ...

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 ...
