Klauea Volcano Shows Ground Deformation

2025-04-28 - 2025-04

Recent interferometric satellite data reveal ground inflation at Hawaii’s Klauea volcano, indicating magma accumulation approximately 1.5 kilometers beneath the surface. This deformation occurred during a pause between eruption episodes, suggesting ongoing volcanic activity.

Yellowstone’s Magma Reservoir Mapped

2025-04-25 - 2025-04

For the first time, scientists have precisely mapped the top of Yellowstone National Park’s magma reservoir, located about two miles beneath the surface. Using controlled seismic vibrations generated by a 53,000-pound truck, researchers identified a distinct magma cap separating solid rock from partially molten material. This finding enhances our understanding of Yellowstone’s volcanic system and suggests that, while active, it poses no immediate eruption threat.

Native American names extend the earthquake history of northeastern North America

In 1638, an earthquake in what is now New Hampshire and Plymouth, Massachusetts, left colonists stumbling from the strong shaking and water sloshing out of the pots used by Native Americans to cook a midday meal along the St. Lawrence River, according to contemporaneous reports.

Scientists find evidence that overturns theories of the origin of water on Earth

2025-04-17 - 2025-04

Researchers have helped overturn the popular theory that water on Earth originated from asteroids bombarding its surface; Scientists have analyzed a meteorite analogous to the early Earth to understand the origin of hydrogen on our planet. The research team demonstrated that the material which built our planet was far richer in hydrogen than previously thought. The findings support the theory that the formation of habitable conditions on Earth did not rely on asteroids hitting the Earth.
