This Supervolcano Is Quietly Refilling With Magma 7,300 Years After Its Last Eruption ...
A glowing pool of lava is surrounded by jagged rocks with a high caldera wall in the background. A full moon is half obscured by clouds. Probably a Hawaiian scene ...
A new model of Yellowstone’s magma system suggests it is fueled by melts from the shallow mantle, guided by tectonic forces, ...
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 ...
Over 3,000 years ago, the eruption of Santorini’s volcano ended an ancient civilization. Scientists may know what the next big explosion could look like. A man looks out across the Santorini caldera ...
Japan’s Kikai Caldera, a massive underwater supervolcano, is showing signs of activity after 7,300 years. Explore what ...
Caldera volcanic eruptions create geological hazards that affect many communities around the world. Geophysical, geochemical and remote sensing data have become essential for understanding the tectono ...
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.
