The Black Death — one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, estimated to have killed up to half of Europe’s population — might have been set in motion by a volcanic eruption, a new study ...

When massive volcanic eruptions occur, they inject millions of tons of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, where it forms sulfate aerosols that scatter incoming solar radiation and result in global ...

The team behind "Jerk," a novel tool that predicted eruptions with 92% accuracy for a French volcano, discusses its work and implications. Reading time 5 minutes Science is a constant work in progress ...

Forecasting volcanic eruptions in time to alert authorities and populations remains a major global challenge. In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers and engineers from the Institut ...

A new detection method called “Jerk” could dramatically improve how scientists forecast volcanic eruptions. By using a single broadband seismometer, the system can detect extremely subtle ground ...
