A new study has investigated the use of a new monitoring technique for early warning of a volcanic eruption. The research team compared the earthquake signals during two eruptions of Ontake Volcano in ...

the UK and the US has conducted high-resolution imaging of magma and gases moving around underneath the volcano. Their study, published in the journal PNAS, reveals that the “zombie” rumbling ...

Zombie volcanoes,' thought extinct, can unexpectedly reactivate, challenging the definition of an 'active' volcano. Bolivia's Uturuncu, dormant for 250,000 years, exhibits gas and earthquake ...

Further research could also lead to a new way to harness geothermal energy. Uturuncu is not the only zombie volcano that has existed. "Over decades, the Global Volcanism Program has recorded about ...

One of the Pacific Ocean’s lesser-known volcanoes will blow its vent in the coming months, causing 10,000 earthquakes in one day. Here’s what scientists are saying.

Instead, magma, gases, and briny fluids are interacting within a hydrothermal system—an activity not entirely understood—to cause the volcano's "zombie" rumblings. Beneath Uturuncu ...

Although dormant volcanoes are usually quiet, “zombie volcanoes” like Bolivia’s Uturuncu display a surviving amount of activity for a volcano that hasn’t erupted in 250,000 years. A new study uses ...
