Indonesia ordered the evacuation of 15,000 residents near an active volcano in the west of the vast archipelago on Sunday as authorities raised the alert for the emergency to the highest level. Mount Sinabung on the island of Sumatra has become increasingly active in recent months, spewing columns of ash …
Mount Sinabung on the north of Sumatra island has been hurling out red-hot ash, rocks and torrents of glowing lava up to 7 kms More than 5,000 people have fled their homes in western Indonesia in recent days following a series of violent volcanic eruptions, an official said today. Mount …
A volcano erupted for the third time in as many months on the western Indonesian island of Sumatra, forcing hundreds of villagers to evacuate, officials said. Mount Sinabung spewed a 7-km (4.3-mile) column of ash into the air on Sunday, prompting authorities to impose a 3-km evacuation radius. The military …

The finding is based on an analysis of spectral data of Compton-Belkovich Volcanic Complex region A research team from the Space Applications Centre (SAC) of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in Ahmedabad, led by Satadru Bhattacharya, has found evidence of water of volcanic origin — water that has originated …
Recent observed global warming is significantly less than that simulated by climate models. This difference might be explained by some combination of errors in external forcing, model response and internal climate variability.
Washington: Sulphur dioxide emissions from moderate volcanoes around the world can mask some of the effects of global warming by 25%, a new study has found. A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder looking for clues about why Earth did not warm as much as scientists expected between …
When Toshitsugu Fujii became head of a Japanese task force on disaster response at Mount Fuji, he was confronted with a startling oversight. Japan had no plan in place to deal with a disaster in which an earthquake sparks a volcanic eruption at the country's most famous landmark. Fujii said …
A state-of-art assessment of existing monitoring/early warning systems (EWS) organized according to type of environmental threats is presented. This report focuses on: air quality, wildland fires, nuclear and chemical accidents, geological hazards (earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, landslides), hydro-meteorological hazards (desertification, droughts, floods, impact of climate variability, severe weather, storms, and …
Desert sand, sea salt, volcanic ash and other forms of natural pollution are adding to rising levels of man-made dirt sullying the air and making it harder, especially for Mediterranean countries, to meet EU environmental regulations. A report released this week from EU body the European Environment Agency (EEA) found …
One idea for fighting global warming is to increase the amount of aerosols in the atmosphere, scattering incoming solar energy away from Earth's surface. But scientists theorize that this solar geoengineering could have a side effect of whitening the sky during the day. New research from Carnegie's Ben Kravitz and …
Guatemala's Fuego volcano belched burning lava and black ash into the sky early Saturday, leading the government to issue an airplane advisory and close sections of highway. The volcano, about 25 miles southwest of the capital, erupted about 2:45 a.m. (0745 GMT), spewing a column of ash up to 16,400 …
The world's oceans are turning acidic at what could be the fastest pace of any time in the past 300 million years, even more rapidly than during a monster emission of planet-warming carbon 56 million years ago, scientists said on Thursday. Looking back at this bygone warm period in Earth's …
The National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research (NCAOR) Research Director, Rasik Ravindran, pegs climate change studies as the most significant from the perspective of future. Ice cores recovered from polar ice sheets offer the best possibility of reconstructing past atmospheric compositions. Several ice cores have been drilled by Indian …
A strong 6.8 earthquake hit the central Philippines on Monday but there was no danger of a widespread tsunami, seismologists said. The quake hit 70 kilometres (44 miles) north of the city of Dumaguete on Negros Island at 11:49 am (0349 GMT) at a depth of 46 kilometres, the US …
A 5.3-magnitude earthquake rattled the northern tip of Indonesia today, geologists said, but there were no immediate reports of damage. The quake struck at a shallow depth of one kilometre around 160 km southeast of Banda Aceh on Indonesia’s Sumatra island at 2:09 am local time, the US Geological Survey …
A 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Indonesian island of Sulawesi on Monday, US seismologists said, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, and no tsunami alert. The quake hit at 9:23 am (0123 GMT) at a depth of 33 kilometres (21 miles), around 57 kilometres southwest of the …
Kinshasa, Congo: A national park in Congo best known for its endangered mountain gorillas is now inviting tourists to go on overnight treks to see a volcano spurting fountains of lava nearly 1,000 feet into the air. Mount Nyamulagira began erupting on November 6 and could continue to do so …
London: There will be an unexpected sight high in the skies over the British county of Norfolk nextmonth: A huge balloon attached to the ground by a giant hosepipe. It isn’t obvious, but it is the first small step in an experiment which aims to re-create the cooling effect of …
A volcano that has been erupting for several days in Alaska's Aleutian Islands may be preparing for a more explosive event, scientists said on Wednesday. Cleveland Volcano, a 5,676-foot peak located on Chuginadak Island, about 940 miles southwest of Anchorage, has been in low-level eruption since the end of July, …
