Earlier this year, a red glow became visible atop Nyamulagira, a volcano in the East African Rift. Helicopter flights soon confirmed lava fountains inside a pit crater on the volcano's central caldera.
What’s it like to do field work mere miles away from an erupting volcano?
Using observations from historical eruptions and a simple mechanical model, researchers studied how changes in slope can affect lava flows.
In a study with implications for geoengineering, large Northern Hemispheric volcanic eruptions are found to cause strong droughts in much of eastern China.
