A major Yellowstone eruption likely won’t happen for thousands, and potentially millions, of years. Scientists say that the magma underneath Yellowstone is mostly solid and not eruptible. One study ...

Research reveals that a geological feature has prevented a catastrophic eruption at America's most popular National Park ...

Will Yellowstone erupt or are we blowing things out of proportion? We may have underestimated Yellowstone’s potential to blow its stack in the future. Chinese scientists have made a disconcerting find ...

Beneath the geysers and steaming ground of Yellowstone National Park lies one of the most studied, yet still elusive, volcanic systems on Earth. Unlike most volcanoes that form along shifting tectonic ...

Those scientists saved countless lives, but their forecast was more of an educated guess than it might have appeared. It was nothing like a weather forecast; they couldn’t say that on June 12, an ...

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.

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 ...

Supervolcanoes like Yellowstone sit right above bodies of magma, and most show evidence of past eruptions. Researchers used ambient noise tomography and image vibrations to analyze a region of Tuscany ...
