14-07-23 In Jeju, Korea, a place emerging as a world-famous vacation spot with natural tourism resources, a recent study revealed a volcanic eruption occurred on the island. The Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) indicated that there...

13-12-12 Brigham Young University geologists found evidence of some of the largest volcanic eruptions in earth's history right in their own backyard. These supervolcanoes aren't active today, but 30 million years ago more than 5,500 cubic kilometers of magma...

13-08-28 Supervolcanoes, such as the one sitting dormant（休眠的，静止的） under Yellowstone National Park, are capable of producing eruptions thousands of times more powerful than normal volcanic eruptions. While they only happen every several thousand year...

13-06-06 Medieval chronicles have given an international group of researchers a glimpse into the past to assess how historical volcanic eruptions affected the weather in Ireland up to 1500 years ago. By critically assessing over 40,000 written entries in the...

13-05-03 Scientists from the Smithsonian and the University of Rhode Island have found unsuspected linkages between the oxidation（氧化的） state of iron in volcanic rocks and variations in the chemistry of the deep Earth. Not only do the trends run counter...

13-03-22 Scientists examining evidence across the world from New Jersey to North Africa say they have linked the abrupt disappearance of half of earth's species 200 million years ago to a precisely dated set of gigantic volcanic eruptions. The eruptions may...
