A University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist led the development of a new technique to predict volcanic eruptions years in advance using satellite imagery to track small changes in temperature on lands ...

AtIndonesia’s Kawah Ijen volcano, a breathtaking blue glow emerges at night, setting it apart from most volcanoes where lava ...

Sensors used to monitor extreme environments need to provide reliable measurements despite high temperatures and harsh conditions. Now, researchers have developed a piezoelectric sensor that works at ...

Popocatépetl emerged in the crater of other volcanoes in its current form more than 20,000 years ago and has been active ...

Martin Jucker receives funding from the Australian Research Council. A new study published in the Journal of Climate explores the climate impacts of this eruption. Our findings show the volcano can ...

If the theory is proven correct, the consequences could be enormous, spelling a much more risky, explosive future.

In the plot of many classic science fiction novels, like Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” and H.G. Wells’ “The Invisible Man,” a curious scientist is conducting a ground-breaking laboratory experiment ...

Nighttime temperatures in the southern hemisphere of Jupiter’s moon Io, mapped here with data from NASA’s Galileo spacecraft, give hints about the textures of surface materials, as well as the ...

Volcanoes change Earth’s climate both by warming and cooling it. Their net effect on climate today is small compared to that of human-made pollutants. Even so, the climate change caused in prehistoric ...

Sept. 28 (UPI) --Volcanoes have played a greater role in the natural temperature variability of than scientists previously estimated, according to a new survey of tree rings. Scientists analyzed ...

A Canary Islands volcano pushed rivers of molten lava through the earth. Now scientists and explorers trek through the cooling underground, looking for insights into life on this planet—and perhaps on ...
