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

“Volcanic activity has been shown to affect Earth’s climate in a myriad of ways,” the authors write. “One such example is ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Then, something went awry. In new research, planetary scientists simulated how Venusian conditions today — with pizza oven-like temperatures, a crushing atmosphere, and past evidence of widespread ...

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 ...

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 ...

Deccan Volcanism, a major event of volcanic eruptions which occurred ~66 million years ago and led to mass extinctions of fauna, did not have such negative impact on tropical flora, says a new study.R ...
