The most alarming case may be West Antarctica, where more than 100 active volcanoes lie buried beneath the ice. One glacier ...

As the weight of melting ice is lifted off volcanos, eruptions will become more common and more violent, according to a new study of volcanos in Chile’s Patagonia region, reports the Smithsonian ...

The concept isn’t hypothetical. Tephra layers in Icelandic peat cores show that eruptions soared six-fold between 12,000 and ...

Scientists are warning that glaciers melting due to global warming could trigger explosive and potentially deadly volcanic ...

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

Melting glaciers around the world could trigger long-dormant volcanoes that may be awakening beneath the ice, scientists said ...

“Over time the cumulative effect of multiple eruptions can contribute to long-term global warming because of a buildup of greenhouse gases,” Moreno-Yaeger explained. “This creates a positive feedback ...

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

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

In the shadow of melting glaciers, a quiet revolution is unfolding one that is stirring to life volcanoes long inactive under ...

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