Will Yellowstone erupt or are we blowing things out of proportion? We may have underestimated Yellowstone’s potential to blow its stack in the future. Chinese scientists have made a disconcerting find ...

Kilauea’s north vent ripped open again on the morning of May 5, 2026, sending continuous lava fountains into the summit caldera for nine straight hours and producing an estimated 6 million cubic yards ...

This situation is heating up. One of the world’s most volatile volcanoes is silently refilling with molten rock, sparking fears that this caldera could be getting ready to unleash a torrent of lava, ...

Scientists have confirmed that Japan’s mostly underwater Kikai caldera, site of the largest Holocene eruption 7,300 years ago, is actively replenishing its magma reservoir. Using advanced seismic ...

We know very little about the processes that lead to a reeruption of supervolcanoes such as the mostly underwater Kikai caldera in Japan (pictured) and are therefore ill-equipped to make predictions.

A major Yellowstone eruption likely won’t happen for thousands, and potentially millions, of years. Scientists say that the magma underneath Yellowstone is mostly solid and not eruptible. One study ...

Far beneath the ocean near Japan, scientists have discovered that the magma system linked to the most powerful eruption of the Holocene is slowly rebuilding. By using seismic imaging, researchers ...

The magma reservoir of the largest volcanic eruption of the Holocene is refilling. This Kobe University insight on the Kikai caldera in Japan allows us to understand giant caldera volcanoes like ...
