New mineral discovered in Hekla volcano in Iceland During expeditions into the boiling warm openings of Iceland’s volcanoes, researchers have discovered seven new minerals.
Is Iceland's Katla volcano crying wolf? OPINION: The Icelandic volcano's rumblings do not necessarily mean that airspace chaos is imminent
How volcanos collapse A unique set of data collected during the largest European volcanic eruption in over 200 years captured the inner workings of a rare event--the collapse of a volcanic crater.
Modern industrialisation killed ocean cooling Ocean temperatures were cooling for almost two millennia but then human industrialisation came along.
Volcanoes linked to cultural upheaval since early Roman times Large volcanic eruptions have cooled the global climate many times in the last 2,500 years and coincided with devastating famine across Europe, new research shows.
Mega volcanoes caused earthquakes in the UK and Denmark Geologists used to think that a massive meteorite strike 201 million years ago had left its mark in rock formations in England but new research points to extreme volcanic eruptions as the actual culprit.
Were the Vikings scared of volcanoes? New Danish research suggests that the Icelandic Vikings were far less relaxed about volcanoes than previously believed.
Sun-kissed sulphur reveals volcanic effects on climate Remains from the most powerful volcanic eruptions were branded by the sun before they ended up buried under the polar ice. This discovery enables scientists to find out when the volcanoes controlled the climate.
Huge eruption adds new perspective to past climate Scientists have found matching traces of a giant prehistoric volcanic eruption in ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica. The discovery sharpens our understanding of past climate.
Hydrogen sulphide and lack of oxygen stifled early life After the Triassic geological period gave way to the Jurassic, life was almost impossible on the seabed in coastal waters. The water here lacked oxygen but was rich in toxic hydrogen sulphide.
Colour secrets revealed in fossilised fish-eye A Swedish palaeontologist and Danish researchers have now proved that prehistoric fossils still have traces of colouring from the animal’s skin, hair or feathers.
