Geochemical analysis of erupted tephra samples over the past decade help scientists understand the temperature of Kilauea’s shallow magma system under the summit — and things have been “heating up!” ...

Volcano Watch is a weekly article and activity update written by US Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists and affiliates. This photo shows the gap between the south (left) and ...

Browne will present on his project, “Probing the subvolcanic magma plumbing systems of continental and oceanic basaltic volcanoes, examples from Medicine Lake volcano and the Axial Seamount.” ...

A 2.35-billion-year-old meteorite with a unique chemical signature, found in Africa in 2023, plugs a major gap in our understanding of the moon's volcanic history. Presented at the Goldschmidt ...

Image of the Northest Africa 16286 sample obtained using a scanning electron microscope. These are what’s referred to as “backscattered electron images”, and the different shades of grey highlight ...

Lunar meteorites provide a broad sampling of the Moon’s surface that can help us better understand volatile depletion processes acting on our nearest neighbor. Our findings reveal that the Zn and K ...

Kenneth Sims and other research scientists recently discovered that mafic volcanism of Henrys Fork Caldera, which is located in eastern Idaho and west of Yellowstone National Park, occurred ...

What is the collective noun for a group of volcano scientists? While some tongue-in-cheek responses might be “an eruption of volcanologists” or “a swarm of seismologists,” we’ll stick to “an assembly ...

Seafloor extension and associated rifting in the North Atlantic Area, which started in Early Paleogene (from −62 Ma), resulted in a few micro-continents being isolated and submerged below sea levels.

Abstract: Mare Serenitatis (28°N, 17.5°E) has undergone intricate volcanic events, leading to the deposition of basaltic lava flows from various stages in the basin. This study presents prospective ...
