A groundbreaking study by the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences (BSIP), an autonomous institute under the Department ...

The West Antarctic Rift System is home to more than 130 volcanoes, and the region’s receding ice sheet could slowly wake them ...

A stunning composite image, made up of three years' worth of satellite photos, shows the ancient lava of Libya's Haruj ...

Most volcanism on Earth occurs beneath the oceans, but submarine volcanoes are difficult to study. Advances in seafloor monitoring have opened up an unprecedented view of eruptions on the seabed.

Melting ice sheets are often considered synonymous with climate change in the media, with evocative images of lone polar ...

But almost simultaneously, intense volcanism covered a vast area of the Indian subcontinent with over 2 kilometers-thick lava flows. Scientists have long debated if the impact or the volcanic ...

Venus and Earth, although they've taken two dramatically different climatic roads, are considered sibling planets. They're ...

New research suggests that the Moon is significantly older than previously thought, with volcanic activity masking its true age. Findings indicate the Moon formed between 4.43 and 4.53 billion years ...

The resulting tidal forces heated up its interior and thus powered the violent volcanism. Only Jupiter's moon Io, by far the most volcanically active body in the solar system, offers comparable ...

A new study shows that glacial retreat coupled with isostatic rebounding caused by anthropogenic climate change could have a profound impact on the volcanism in this region, increasing both ...

I am an earth scientist, geologist, volcanologist, geochemist, petrologist and geoarcheologist. My research and teaching concern how magmas and volcanoes are formed, how they evolve and reveal the ...

According to the volcanism hypothesis, this global-scale volcanic activity spewed so much gas, ash, and dust into the atmosphere that it kept sunlight from reaching Earth's surface. Temperature ...
