So, as I explain in a new column in Nature Geoscience, we are getting closer to having crystal balls (for volcanoes, at least). Magma, the super-hot molten rock which feeds volcanic eruptions ...

By the end of the day, about 7 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, data from 16 crystals was collected and analyzed. The data, which was shared with Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, showed that the erupted ...

Colli Albani, an Italian volcano, has experienced major eruptions thousands of years ago that don’t fit with current models. Using 3D imaging, a team from UNIGE has unraveled this phenomenon, paving ...

This compression formed crystals containing both iron and helium ... “primordial” helium as the planet formed. Its loss from magma suggests that the planet has a deep reservoir of primordial ...

Molten rock (magma) beneath the Earth’s surface behaves similarly and we can learn from the gas trapped in tiny bubbles preserved in crystals from the rock after it’s erupted on the surface.
