In many rivers, only a small amount of streamflow remains for nature after water is diverted for hydropower production. In light of climate change and biodiversity loss, this is having increasingly serious consequences. Researchers from WSL,...
Scientists have identified what could be the oldest rocks on Earth from a rock formation in Canada.
The Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt has long been known for its ancient rocks—plains of streaked gray stone on the eastern shore...
Kilauea volcano began shooting lava into the air once again Wednesday on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes,...
New Cornell University led-research challenges the long-standing belief that active volcanoes have large magma bodies that are expelled during eruptions and then dissipate over...
Using a nearly 200-year record of lava chemistry from Kīlauea and Maunaloa, Earth scientists from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and colleagues revealed...
Central Europe is typically not on most people's radar when it comes to assessing volcanic risk. However, as recently as 11,000 years ago, volcanoes...
Volcanoes were still erupting on the moon when dinosaurs roamed Earth, new research suggests.
The evidence: three tiny glass beads plucked from the surface of the moon and brought...
A team of geologists and planetary scientists from the California Institute of Technology, the University of California Santa Cruz, New York University, and NASA...
Massive volcanic events in Earth's history that released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere frequently correlate with periods of severe environmental change and...
One of California's riskiest volcanoes has for decades been undergoing geological changes and seismic activity, which are sometimes a precursor to an eruption, but—thankfully—no...
