The study presents field evidence that Iceland eruptions of silicic lava are typically accompanied by long-lasting ash plumes but remain hidden in the tephra record. This potential hazard should be ap...

There is now a wealth of glass-shard geochemical data for volcanic ash (tephra) layers from a wide range of volcanoes and eruptions, providing invaluable datasets for tephrochronology. However, compi...

The Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) hosts a rapidly growing population exposed to eruption hazards from ∼60 active Holocene volcanoes. The geological record…

<em>Journal of Quaternary Science</em> publishes papers on any field of Quaternary research, advancing understanding of earth's history over the last 2.58 million years.

Klyuchevskoy erupted shortly after a magnitude 8.8 earthquake two weeks ago.

Southeast Asia is one of the most volcanically active regions in the world, yet their long-term eruptive history has been comparatively little studied. In particular, little work has explored the pot....

Following a series of eruptions three weeks ago, Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki has begun spewing hot ash and lava again.

Learn more about the volcanic ash researchers found in the sediment around Lake Mead’s now exposed shoreline, and how it could help us in the future.

When volcanoes like Alaska’s Mount Spurr erupt, the ash can damage people’s lungs, smother crops and kill animals, and the harm can continue to spread long afterward.

A volcanic eruption in what’s now Morocco preserved ancient trilobite specimens in nearly pristine condition about half a billion years ago, according to a new study.
