It’s clear that Hunga involved an unusually explosive recipe that may not be easily replicated. For about a month, the eruption had progressed as expected—moderately violent, with gas and ash, but manageable. Then everything went sideways. That appears to be the result of at least two factors, Cronin says. One was the mixing of sources … Read more

Homes were destroyed on surrounding islands, beach resorts washed away and at least six people died – two of them in Peru. The extraordinary impact of the eruption has been mapped by British and New Zealand survey vessels in a mission led by New Zealand’s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research. The seafloor was … Read more

Anita Sauckel, a 40-year-old German living in Iceland, visited last year’s eruption and could not resist witnessing the latest volcanic activity. “This is special with the lava, huge fountains popping out in the middle, and I love that a lot,” she said. The fissure was estimated to be around 360 metres long, the Icelandic Meteorological … Read more
A new study has found that computers can be trained to better detect distant nuclear detonations, chemical blasts and volcano eruptions by learning from artificial explosion signals. The study was published in the journal, ‘Geophysical Research Letters.’ Witsil, at the Geophysical Institute’s Wilson Alaska Technical Center, and colleagues created a library of synthetic infrasound explosion … Read more
