Chemical fingerprints from volcanic rock offer hints of what’s happening in the mantle below the area where three rift zones ...

On the morning of June 21, visitors at Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park observed a bison slip into a ...

The information is available whether individuals are in the park using geotagging, or anywhere in the world for those tuning ...

Tourists and officials were startled by a hydrothermal explosion at Black Diamond Pool in July 2024. Geoscientists are working out how and why it occurred to better understand these hazardous events.

Typical plumes reach the surface and build features like Hawaii or Yellowstone, but Oman shows no fresh lava fields. That absence makes the Dani plume a ghost: hot enough to soften rock, not hot ...

This method allowed scientists to locate the top of Yellowstone’s magma chamber. They found it sits about 3.8 kilometers (12,500 feet) below the surface.

Beneath Yellowstone National Park lies something extraordinary—a giant underground chamber filled with molten rock, trapped gases, and intense heat. For years, scientists have known about this ...

Just above the outer core (brown) is the D" layer. (Keystone/Science Photo Library/Carlos Clarivan) The D" layer, some 2,700 kilometers (nearly 1,700 miles) below our feet, has been mystifying ...

Li’s team built a model to predict how magma flow and the shape, size, and depth of the magma chamber affects its behavior. The results were then compared to data collected from Veniaminof in the ...

Developing sustainable resources beneath the surface To manage the Earth’s resources responsibly, scientists must understand how they form and evolve deep underground. Scientific drilling offers ...

Geologists have developed a new mathematical method that can estimate magma pressure beneath the Earth's surface using only the visible portions of ancient volcanic dykes. The tool, developed by a ...
