Deep beneath the barren landscape of Antarctica lies secrets to the climatic history of the world. Frozen in the ice are ...

Researchers have found that half of all active volcanoes are exposed to the risk of torrential rains linked to climate change ...

The colors can easily be seen with the naked eye, but you can get an enhanced viewing experience with a telescope or ...

Occasionally volcanic eruptions result in huge amounts of primary and secondary aerosols both at the ground and in the stratosphere (Boulon et al. 2011). The size and chemical composition of the ...

A little-known volcano in the remote Kuril Islands, Zavaritzki, links an explosion in 1831 with drastic climate changes.

In what may seem a counterintuitive twist, a warmer world may mean massive volcanic eruptions have an even bigger cooling impact. That’s because how aerosol particles form and how they are ...

The prediction proved remarkably on target. By the mid-1990s, most scientists agreed that human-made aerosols were acting like an ongoing volcanic eruption, and that air pollution had likely been ...

Tambora's impact was global, as volcanic ash and aerosols rose high into the stratosphere, filtering out sunlight and heat. Abnormally cold weather the following year caused crop failures as far ...

"It could also be theoretically possible to minimize the global volcanic winter effect from large eruptions, by speeding up the removal of sulfur aerosols (which reflect solar radiation and cool the ...
