Surviving a supervolcano eruption around 74,000 years ago may have facilitated human dispersal from Africa, researchers report.

Iceland, Hawaii and Italy have all tried to control lava to save cities in the past. A volcanologist explains the methods.

Iceland is known as ‘the land of fire and ice’ for a reason.

When researchers reconstructed lava flows on Mars, they realized the red planet is a lot more active than they previously thought.

Releasing reflective particles into the upper atmosphere would help us tackle climate change – but it’s not without risk.

Climate change triggered by massive volcanic eruptions, and not a meteorite plummeting to Earth, may have led to dinosaurs' extinction.

Iceland’s volcanic activity is generally tame compared with explosive eruptions along the Pacific’s Ring of Fire. This time, it’s shaking up a town.

Evidence suggests magma is close to the surface in south-west Iceland, prompting evacuations.

Massive volcanic eruptions over the past 260 million years caused lethal climate change that led to mass extinctions, researchers say.

Like icy thermometers, glaciers overlying volcanoes shift according to temperature changes below.
