  1. Volcanology is the scientific study of volcanoes, lava, magma, and related geological, chemical, and physical phenomena. The primary goals of this discipline are to understand the formation, eruptive mechanisms, and lifespans of volcanic systems, as well as to forecast future eruptions.

  2. 🌋🌊 Deep-sea researchers from the #Ocean Exploration Trust discovered a unique "yellow brick road" formation on the Liliʻuokalani Ridge.

    Located over 1,000 meters deep, the rectangular patterns are actually fractured hyaloclastite rock. The volcanic formation helps scientists understand the #marine #ecosystems within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

  5. Been saying it for years. There's no such thing as a dead volcano, just a dormant one. No one listens. 'Extinct' Volcanoes May Be Silently Building Magma For Future Eruptions. Via @sciencealert #EarthScience #Geology #RocksForJocks #seismology #Volcanology 🌋

  6. ✨Breaking News!✨ Earth turns out to be a cosmic mystery ball, surprising exactly no one except perhaps the editor who had to proofread this 🚀. Meanwhile, scientists continue to marvel at their own ability to state the obvious in the most convoluted way possible. 🧊🌍

  7. 🌍🏘️ #Earth scientists engineered a digital #map that tracks how tectonic plates have shifted over millions of years.

    By entering a city or specific coordinates, users can see where that location sat on the #planet during different geological eras. The tool uses decades of collected #data to explain how land masses have drifted and rotated to their current positions.

  10. If you're at the @EuroGeosciences meeting this year, and would like to hear me talk about ocean ventilation over the last few 100s of millions of years, it'll be at the Biogeodynamics and the co-evolution of Earth, climate, and life session on Thursday (BG5.1).

  12. 🌋🌍 A major eruption of the #Yellowstone #supervolcano is statistically unlikely to happen for thousands of years despite frequent media speculation.

    An analysis details how geological monitoring works and what would occur if the #volcano became active. The primary global concern involves the massive volume of ash released into the #atmosphere which could temporarily cool the #climate and impact global #food systems.

  14. 🦠🔬⚡ ''From this intimate alliance emerged the eukaryotic cell – and with it, the possibility of complex life. Every plant, animal and thinking being traces its lineage back to that ancient symbiosis. Our capacity for reflection, imagination and doubt rests upon what was once a free-living microbe. We call these descendants mitochondria.''

  15. Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) is a proposed geoengineering technique designed to artificially cool the Earth by injecting aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect incoming solar radiation, effectively mimicking the cooling effect of explosive volcanic eruptions.

  16. Do you feel the ground move beneath your feet? Tonight we do. Join us Tuesday April 21 at 8pm as Professor Alan Kafka talks earthquakes in the Eastern US — why they happen and where they'll strike next.

  17. Not all giant icebergs, or "megabergs," release fertilizing nutrients into the ocean as they melt; their capacity to stimulate marine life and absorb atmospheric carbon varies drastically depending on their individual life cycles and histories.
