Sandi Doughton It could mean valuable warning time for aircraft, whose engines can stall when clogged with volcanic ash A USGS analysis found 94 verified airplane-ash encounters since 1953. None led to crashes, but aircraft damage was severe in several cases. The lightning network now is continuously monitoring more than …
MAJOR volcanic eruptions can disrupt rainfall patterns over the Asian monsoon region. A study has shown that big eruptions tend to dry up much of central Asia, but bring more rain to southeast Asian countries like Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar—the opposite of what many climate models predict. Researchers at …
As this village emptied around her, and the Mount Merapi volcano boomed not too far uphill behind a veil of dust, Puranti stood crying here on Sunday afternoon, frozen with indecision. A few hours earlier, her relatives had gone back to fetch fresh clothes in their village — farther uphill …
Scientists studying tree rings to reconstruct the past have found that major volcanic eruptions can boost rains in Southeast Asia, challenging a common perception of volcanoes as purely destructive forces. Studies in the past have shown massive eruptions such as the 1815 Tambora blast, and Krakatau in 1883, both in …
American scientists claim to have found evidence that suggests Mars had a warm and wet climate which could have supported life some 3.5 billion years ago. A team led by planetary geologists at Brown University found mounds of a mineral deposited on a volcanic cone less than 3.5 billion years …
Researchers identified the mineral as hydrated silica Washington: American scientists claim to have found evidence that suggests Mars had a warm and wet climate which could have supported life some 3.5 billion years ago.

Mentawai Islands (Indonesia): Choppy seas, poor visibility and a shortage of boats are slowing the delivery of tons of food, water and blankets to the most remote corners of the Indonesian islands hit hardest by a tsunami that killed more than 400 people and crushed entire villages, an official said …
Rescuers battled rough seas Tuesday to reach remote Indonesian islands pounded by a 10-foot tsunami that swept away homes, killing at least 113 people. Scores more were missing and information was only starting to trickle in from the sparsely populated surfing destination, so casualties were expected to rise. The fault …
Indonesia ordered thousands of people to evacuate from around Mount Merapi on Monday as it raised the alert for its most active volcano to red, warning of a possible imminent eruption. Seismic activity has escalated dramatically at the volcano on the densely populated island of Java, with increasing lava spurts …
Magma has worked its way up to just under the surface in a remote region of northwest Saudi Arabia, causing a flurry of small to moderate quakes and threatening to form a new volcano, researchers said Sunday. A swarm of 30,000 quakes shook the region of Harrat Lunayyir from May …
Dotted with active volcanoes, Central America is seeking to tap its unique geography to produce green energy and cut dependence on oil imports as demand for electricity outstrips supply. Sitting above shifting tectonic plates in the Pacific basin known to cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, the region has huge potential …
Thousands were evacuated as the eruption triggered the highest red volcano alert. Two people died, one from breathing problems and the other from a heart attack Thou sands of Indonesians were evacuated from the slopes of a volcano on Sunday after it erupted for the first time in more than …
Volcanic eruptions release a large amount of sulphur dioxide. This is oxidized to sulphate and can then form sulphate aerosol, which can affect the Earth's radiation balance. Here, past volcanic eruptions and atmospheric conditions are investigated by using sulphur and triple oxygen isotope measurements of atmospheric sulphate preserved in the …
