Scientists are warning that glaciers melting due to global warming could trigger volcanic eruptions around the world.

Thousands of years ago, thick glaciers covered southern Chile, pressing down on the land and holding back the volcanoes underneath. The ice acted like a cap, trapping magma below the surface. But over ...

Glacial retreat caused a wave of volcanic activity in southern Chile as the last Ice Age came to an end, according to new ...

New research from the Chilean Patagonia has identified a link between glacial retreat and underground volcanic activity ...

And every volcanic eruption releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, triggering a gnarly environmental feedback loop.

As glaciers melt around the world, long-dormant volcanoes may be waking up beneath the ice. New research reveals that massive ice sheets have suppressed eruptions for thousands of years, building up ...

Hundreds of dormant volcanoes across the globe—particularly in Antarctica—could become more active thanks to climate change.

For centuries, glaciers have sat like frosty crowns atop slumbering volcanoes, keeping Earth’s fury tucked safely beneath ...

Discovery of argon in air-hydrate crystals in a deep ice core using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Journal of Glaciology , 2021; 1 DOI: 10.1017/jog.2021.115 ...

Abstract in Nature. ner, and the argon containing helium and neon was liquefied. By fractional distillation it was possible to remove the greater portion of the helium and neon from this mixture ...

Argon is an inert gas in group VIII A of the periodic table with atomic number 18, an atomic weight of 39.948, and a density of 1.40 Mg/m 3. In the solid state it forms an fcc crystal with a melting ...
