Hundreds of dormant volcanoes across the globe—particularly in Antarctica—could become more active thanks to climate change.

Climate change is likely to have an explosive consequence: volcanic eruptions. Antarctic glaciers have been slowly melting as ...

Melting glaciers may be silently setting the stage for more explosive and frequent volcanic eruptions in the future, according to research on six volcanoes in the Chilean Andes.

“Over time the cumulative effect of multiple eruptions can contribute to long-term global warming because of a buildup of greenhouse gases,” Moreno-Yaeger explained. “This creates a positive feedback ...

And the eruptions can make warming worse, melting more glaciers.

The melting of glaciers due to the climate crisis could make volcano eruptions more catastrophic than before, scientists ...

Data out of Chile suggests that as glaciers and ice caps melt in volcanic regions, released pressure and magma build-up makes eruptions increasingly likely — which could lead to a vicious circle where ...

Other famous volcanoes such as Mt. St Helens in the US and Vesuvius in Italy have the capacity to burst to life with enormous explosive eruptions that pose a serious hazard to any living thing in ...

Sept. 24 (UPI) --The presence of tiny crystals in magma can cause volcanoes to violently explode, according to a new study published Thursday in the journal Science Advances. "Exactly what causes ...
