A vast, previously undetected reservoir containing approximately 6,000 cubic kilometers of magma has been discovered beneath the region of Tuscany. This subterranean body of volcanic fluid is situated at depths ranging from 8 to 15 kilometers within the continental crust.

Super Magma Reservoirs Discovered Beneath Tuscany

A Swiss-Italian team has discovered 6,000 km³ of magma beneath Tuscany.

Congratulations to Dr. Jessica Salas Navarro who successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis, "Advancing Volcanic Gas Monitoring to Unravel Eruption Processes: Insights from Rincón de la Vieja Volcano, Costa Rica" (supervisors John Stix (McGill Univ.) and Maarten de Moor (OVSICORI, Costa Rica).

They monitored summit plume gas compositions, remotely-sensed total SO2, and seismic/infrasound signals.

Scientists Discovered a 'Yellow Brick Road' at The Bottom of The Ocean

An expedition to a deep-sea ridge, just north of the Hawaiian Islands, revealed a surprise back in 2022: an ancient dried-up lakebed paved with what appears to be a yellow brick road.

Agi: Terremoto nel Pistoiese: scossa di magnitudo di 4.1

AGI - E' stata di magnitudo 4,1 la scossa di terremoto avvertita distintamente questa mattina alle 9,40 in provincia di Pistoia. L'istituto nazionale di geofisica e vulcanologia (Ingv) ha infatti calcolato la fascia esatta del sisma che, sempre secondo l'istituto, ha avuto il suo epicentro sette chilometri a nord di Pistoia, a una profondità di 52,1 chilometri. La scossa è stata avvertita a Pistoia, ma anche a Firenze, Prato e fino alle località della costa tirrenica a nord della Toscana.

Earthquake in the Pistoia region: magnitude 4.1 tremor

The earthquake was magnitude 4.1 and was distinctly felt this morning at 9:40 AM in the province of Pistoia. The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) has calculated the exact extent of the quake, which, according to the institute, had its epicenter seven kilometers north of Pistoia, at a depth of 52.1 kilometers. The tremor was felt in Pistoia, but also in Florence, Prato, and as far as the Tyrrhenian coast locations north of Tuscany.
