Tonga’s Volcanic Fury Ripples to the Netherworld
Secondary gravity waves emerge as the hidden architects of global-scale thermospheric upheaval following the Tonga eruption in 2022.
Deflected Dikes Perturb the Plumbing System
A multidisciplinary synthesis of the Campi Flegrei, Italy volcanic setting highlights the importance of sub-caldera layering for magma dynamics.
Martian Magmas Live Long and Prosper
The depths, longevity, and potential to generate silicic compositions of magma chambers are linked to crustal temperature, which varies across Mars and over its geological history.
A 30,000-Year-Old Feather Is a First-of-Its-Kind Fossil
A new analysis of a fossil found in 1889 has unveiled the presence of zeolites—and an entirely new mineralization method.
Seismic Images Show Major Change Along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
New seismic images of the Lucky Strike slow-spreading segment of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge show thick lower crust at the center that thins in both along-ridge directions.
Cómo pueden los vulcanólogos mejorar la resiliencia urbana al cambio climático
Las estrategias pensadas para ciudades enteras para hacer frente al cambio climático pueden beneficiarse de los conocimientos de los vulcanólogos, que llevan mucho tiempo adaptando la información y la comunicación sobre riesgos a las comunidades locales.
The Deep Frontier of Mantle Magma Supply
Compared with crustal magma systems, little is known about the deep sources of volcanic supply chains. Interdisciplinary efforts can help answer key questions about how magma migrates from the mantle.
Water Stored in the Mantle for Millions of Years May Be Linked to Continental Volcanism
New research shows that intraplate volcanism is more likely to occur over areas of the mantle that are more hydrated—particularly those that have been hydrated for a long, long time.
Observing Magma-Induced Seismic Velocity Changes with Fiber-Optics
A new high-resolution method for tracking volcanic activity utilizes fiber-optic sensing to detect magma intrusion by measuring seismic velocity changes.
