For decades, scientists believed that magma chambers beneath volcanoes were transient, forming before an eruption and then dissipating as the volcano quieted. However, new research suggests that ...

Hawaii 's Kilauea volcano has resumed erupting by shooting an arc of lava 100 feet (30 meters) into the air and across a ...

The volcano released approximately 8.4 million cubic meters of lava – enough to fill almost 3,500 Olympic-sized swimming ...

Some volcanoes don’t give much — or any — warning before they blow. Veniaminof, Alaska, is one of them: it is a ”stealthy” ...

Creating equipment that can withstand the conditions of a magma chamber is a big roadblock to using volcanoes as a power source.

Molten rock is currently erupting from two vents simultaneously at Kilauea volcano, with lava shooting high into the sky and ...

The Axial Seamount, the most active volcano in the Northeast Pacific, is showing strong signs of preparing for another ...

Slight differences in sea levels above a volcano, due to magma inside chambers, the researchers noted, could be used to measure how much magma is inside such chambers and also to map their size.

Researchers have mapped the magma plumbing system beneath Tonga's underwater volcano and discovered three magma chambers, two of which fed the record-shattering 2022 eruption.

The magma released by the volcanoes that they studied was also high in silica. This natural compound is known to play a part in determining how viscous–or sticky–and explosive magma is.

Over the past several months, periods of increased earthquake activity and ground deformation in the summit region of Kilauea volcano indicate that magma is accumulating beneath the surface. Where ...
