The magma reservoir of the largest volcanic eruption of the Holocene is refilling. This Kobe University insight on the Kikai caldera in Japan allows us to understand giant caldera volcanoes like ...

Far beneath the ocean near Japan, scientists have discovered that the magma system linked to the most powerful eruption of the Holocene is slowly rebuilding. By using seismic imaging, researchers ...

We know very little about the processes that lead to a reeruption of supervolcanoes such as the mostly underwater Kikai caldera in Japan (pictured) and are therefore ill-equipped to make predictions.

Mark Clementz, a professor in the University of Wyoming Department of Geology and Geophysics, and colleagues have produced a ...

Beneath Yellowstone National Park lies one of the most powerful geological systems on Earth. While the chances of a major eruption remain low, scientists continue to study the supervolcano closely due ...

What is a super eruption and how did they create the geology of Yellowstone? Where is the world's largest, most explosive, and most unusual volcano? It's Yellowstone National Park. The Yellowstone ...

Now, a new paper suggests that the Farallon plate is still making its presence felt far from the coasts, powering one of ...

Volcanoes are Earth’s geologic architects. They’ve created more than 80 percent of our planet’s surface, laying the foundation that has allowed life to thrive. Their explosive force crafts mountains ...
