Quantification of Subaerial Volcanism and its Products

by Federico Galetto 6 March 20233 March 2023

Researchers estimate the mass of volcanic products that erupted above sea level from 1980 to 2019 by volcanoes worldwide and the average eruptive rates of each magmatic province.

Eruption and Emissions Take Credit for Ocean Carbon Sink Changes

by Eileen Hofmann 3 June 202028 February 2023

A new model explains why the ocean’s capacity to take up carbon was reduced on a decadal scale, by accounting for reduced pCO2 emissions and ocean state changes due to the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.

Pinatubo 25 Years Later: Eight Ways the Eruption Broke Ground

JoAnna Wendel, freelance science writer and illustratorMohi Kumar headshot by JoAnna Wendel and M. Kumar 9 June 20165 June 2023

From the first rapid assessment of a volcano's history to insights on geoengineering, the 15 June 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo changed the way we approach and learn from volcanic hazards.
