Scientists are uncovering how climate change influences seismic activity, volcanic hazards and extreme weather, as Michael Allen uncovers ...

How might climate change affect eruptions from Osorno volcano in Chile and vice versa? Source: Ilan Kelman Are climate change and tectonic processes linked? We must examine both directions: volcanic ...

Melting glaciers may be silently setting the stage for more explosive and frequent volcanic eruptions in the future, according to research on six volcanoes in the Chilean Andes. Presented today ...

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 retreat, ...

A powerful swarm of earthquakes in January suggested one of Iceland’s giant “ice volcanoes” may be awakening after a decade of slumber. In the months that followed, more earthquakes have rocked the ...

As global temperatures increase because of climate change, glaciers around the world are melting—contributing to rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, and habitat loss for all sorts of ...

As glaciers melt around the world, long-dormant volcanoes may be waking up beneath the ice. New research reveals that massive ice sheets have suppressed eruptions for thousands of years, building up ...

Glacial retreat caused a wave of volcanic activity in southern Chile as the last Ice Age came to an end, according to new research. Reading time 2 minutes As if we needed another reason to worry about ...

Most volcanoes form at the boundaries of Earth's tectonic plates, which are huge slabs of crust and upper mantle that fit together like puzzle pieces. Think of these plates as massive rafts floating ...

WHY WOULD a meteorologist concern herself with the rocks beneath her feet? For good reason, if she lives in Iceland. That island nation straddles the mid-Atlantic ridge, a boundary between two of ...
