Strong new evidence suggests that primordial material from the planet’s center is somehow making its way out. Continent-size ...

Another (and, in our view, more important) source of energy for life on Iceheim is the heat coming from its core, underneath ...

Lava planets don’t play by the rules of our solar system. These scorching-hot worlds, some no bigger than Earth, orbit so ...

Melting glaciers could lead to more explosive and frequent volcanic eruptions, according to a new study that looked at ...

Volcanic eruptions aren't just dramatic — they can be dangerous and far-reaching. Ash can ground planes, contaminate water, ...

Melting glaciers may be setting off a chain reaction deep beneath our feet. Scientists have found that as glaciers retreat due to climate change, they reduce the pressure that holds magma underground ...

New simulations reveal that an ancient ocean of magma located above the Earth's core continues to shape the planet's underground landscape.

Previous studies have shown that the volatile composition of melt inclusions located in late crystalline minerals can represent the volatile content of magma close to the eruption before the volcanic ...

For centuries, glaciers have sat like frosty crowns atop slumbering volcanoes, keeping Earth’s fury tucked safely beneath layers of ice. But now, as climate change accelerates and glaciers ...

Because Mýrdalsjökull rests above the country's Katla volcano, they theorized that as its glaciers melt, pressure on the volcano's magma chambers decreases, making it easier for eruptions to occur.
