New article in Science: Still difficult to forecast volcanic eruptions

In a new article in the journal Science, Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson, professor of geophysics at the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland, and Christopher J. Bean, professor at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, discuss one of earth sciences' largest challenges: if, and then how, it’s possible to forecast volcanic eruptions.

A 'Supereruption' That Could Have Buried New Zealand Finally Makes Sense

Some 350,000 years ago, the centre of New Zealand's North Island appeared much different than the mountainous, scrub-covered landscape it is today.

Mount Etna may represent a previously unknown type of volcano. Researchers suggest its magma rises from pockets nearly 80 km deep, challenging the classic 3-category view of volcanism and reshaping how scientists think about mantle dynamics.

Mount Etna breaks volcano rules, tapping 80-kilometer-deep magma in a rare fourth category of eruption

Located in Sicily, Mount Etna is Europe's most active volcano. Yet its origin remains largely enigmatic, as no existing geological model fully explains how it formed. In a new study, scientists from the University of Lausanne (UNIL) shed light on these mechanisms and reveal why Mount Etna may in fact be unique in the world.

More than 100 instruments continuously monitor Piton de la Fournaise. Tiny earthquakes, ground swelling and CO₂ emissions reveal magma moving underground before eruptions begin. Volcanology is becoming increasingly predictive.

Anticiper une éruption : ce que le réveil du piton de la Fournaise nous apprend

L’Observatoire volcanologique du piton de la Fournaise suit l’activité du volcan 24 heures sur 24, grâce à un réseau de plus de 100 instruments qui en détectent les moindres soubresauts afin de suivre et d’anticiper les éruptions.

Mysterious Earthquakes Strike Like Clockwork – We May Finally Know Why

For more than three decades, experts have been trying to solve the mystery of why a certain kind of underwater fault triggers earthquakes way more predictably than others.
