Drones Save Lives By Diving Into Volcanoes - For Science

Medicine & Technology Nov 02, 2020

Aerial strategies using remote-controlled drones reduce the risks of ground-based measurements of volcanic emissions, maintaining real-time data transmission in these potentially dangerous environments.

How Do Volcanoes Erupt, and How Scientists Study and Predict These Eruptions

Jan 16, 2020

The mechanics of how volcanoes erupt is rather complicated, and there are stages that are critical to studying and predicting it. A volcano is like a tunnel into the earth’s how interior, where molten rock flows. Another thing is that magma flow generated magnetic force, and has effects.

Unusual Volcanic Rocks Lift Lid on Risks of Less-Studied Eruptions

May 24, 2019

During powerful eruptions, eruption columns formed, and collapse to form fast-moving avalanches of super-heated rock, ash, and gas

Researchers Solved The Mystery Behind Venus’ Few Rare Volcanoes

May 31, 2017

Before, Earth's twin boiling planet Venus has an atmosphere that is so thick which makes it hard to study its surface. But now, researchers are able to study the mystery behind why there are few rare volcanoes in the planet after changes in 2006.

World’s Biggest Volcanoes in Hawaii Create Attention As Scientists Discover The Key Reason Behind Their Formation

May 04, 2017

'Ghost Villages' Found In Indonesia After Volcano Eruption

Feb 21, 2017

Several villages were placed in silence after Mount Sinabung erupted in 2012. There were dusty kitchens from crumbling houses, vehicles overgrown by vegetation and volcanic ash covered almost everything.

Demystifying Archaic 1500 Year Old Palindromic Amulet

Jan 20, 2015

Time is the one constant variable in all of our lives. Minutes push by, hours pass over, and years ring around the trunks of senior trees. 1,500 years is a time scale that may seem almost immeasurable at times, but a new discovery reveals that it has been written down, recorded to a tee. An excavation near the ancient city of Nea Paphos had unearthed an amulet of such an age that inscribed written language on one side and curiously depicted both Greek and Egyptian gods on the other.

Study Shows Volcanoes May Be Causing Global Cooling

Jan 13, 2015

We have known for a while that massive volcanic eruptions, which eject massive amounts of gases into the atmosphere, can block enough solar radiation to have an effect on the climate. For example, scientists believe the explosion of the Indonesian volcano Mt. Tambora in 1815 caused the severe cold spell in 1816. But while scientists may have arrived at a consensus that our planet is warming, according to a new study published this week, some of the warming effects have been offset by small volcanic eruptions over the last decade. The vast quantities of ash and gases ejected from the volcanoes have had a remarkable cooling effect on the climate, by blocking solar radiation.
