A new study conducted by geologists from the University of Florida and the University of Maryland reveals that, as land is ...

New research from the Chilean Patagonia has identified a link between glacial retreat and underground volcanic activity ...

Chile's glaciers are facing a higher risk of collapse and landslides due to rising temperatures and the country's seismic and volcanic activity, according to an academic study. The study, published in ...

Melting glaciers may be silently setting the stage for more explosive and frequent volcanic eruptions in the future, ...

In a feedback of fire and ice, thinning ice sheets over geologic hot spots could allow more eruptions, while increased ...

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, discusses the environmental impact of volcanic eruptions. Historical examples, such as the 1831 Indonesian eruption and Russia’s Gavastini ...

Climate change can also affect volcanic systems themselves. Melting ice can lead to increased eruptions, as its disappearance decreases pressure, which can allow magma to rise faster.

The erupting crater may soon collapse, and "if this happens, lava could change direction," the Icelandic Meteorological Office said.

Thus, these simulations both underestimate the effects of volcanism on the climate and the frequency of massive volcanic eruptions.

It’s true that volcanic eruptions can warm the Earth’s temperature, but scientific evidence clearly shows that’s not the chief culprit behind current climate change.

Ironically enough, climate-change deniers sometimes attribute the current rise in temperatures to volcanic activity, a hypothesis that has been thoroughly debunked. It’s true that volcanic eruptions ...
