Understanding how gold forms is crucial for knowing where to find it and how to extract it sustainably. McGill researchers have answered a long-standing question in geology that could lead to new ore discoveries. Researchers traveled to...
Earth system models (ESMs) help us understand climate and environmental changes. With advances in computing power, ESMs can now be run at kilometer-scale (k-scale) resolutions, capturing very fine details to better predict extreme weather and understand...

New research shows climate change will increase impacts of volcanic eruptions

Volcanic disasters have been studied since Pompeii was buried in 79 A.D., leading the public to believe that scientists already know why, where, when...

New low-cost camera could help scientists forecast volcano eruptions affecting millions

Gas emissions are the manifestation of activity occurring beneath the surface of a volcano. Measuring them lets researchers see what can't be seen from...

Stromboli’s ‘rejuvenation’ heralds era of more variable volcanic eruptions

An unexpected series of eruptions at Stromboli may be due to changes in the volcano's internal "plumbing." Changes to the layer separating the volcano's reservoirs...

A flare and a spare: Hawaii volcano visitors see 2 eruptions

The first eruption in 38 years of Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, is drawing visitors to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which is...

Global tsunamis driven by underwater volcanic eruptions

In 1883, there was a volcanic eruption so large it killed tens of thousands of people. It expelled so much ash that, for a...

Volcanic super eruptions are millions of years in the making—followed by swift surge, scientists find

Researchers at the University of Bristol and Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre have discovered that super-eruptions occur when huge accumulations of magma deep in...

Reconstructing volcanic eruptions to help scientists predict climate risks

University of Saskatchewan (USask) researcher Dr. Matthew Toohey (Ph.D.) and University of Bern researcher Dr. Michael Sigl (Ph.D.) were part of the research team...
