1+ day, 2+ hour ago  (1089+ words) A volcano in southeastern Iran has nudged upward by about 3. 5 inches (9 centimeters) in 10 months. This might sound like a small rise but it has big significance. A new study used satellite data to spot the change and argues that pressure…...

5+ day, 4+ hour ago  (716+ words) A new study has found that gas dissolving back into magma can pressurize large volcanic systems faster than gas escaping from them. That reversal accelerates the path toward eruption, tightening the window between deep recharge and surface failure. In a…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago  (763+ words) A massive fault beneath Sulawesi, an island in Indonesia, has been confirmed to run offshore as a continuous, deep fracture through the crust. That extension links onshore earthquakes directly to seafloor deformation, tightening the connection between ground shaking and tsunami…...
