Scientists in Iceland are steaming ahead with an ambitious project to drill straight down into a magma chamber that could provide not only the first direct look at the oceans of molten rock ...

When volcanoes are preparing to erupt, scientists rely on typical signs to warn people living nearby: deformation of the ground and earthquakes, caused by underground chambers filling up with magma ...

Scientists say the way two large magma chambers are connected under Mount St. Helens may explain the peak's 1980 explosion, according to a report released Wednesday.

However, the researchers cautioned against alarmism. While large magma chambers are a necessary ingredient for eruptions, they do not necessarily indicate imminent danger.

Volcanoes are not fed by molten magma formed in large chambers finds a new study, overturning classic ideas about volcanic eruptions. Instead, the study suggests that volcanoes are fed by so ...

Scientists in Iceland have come up with an ambitious plan to drill into a volcano’s magma chamber to source an abundant amount of clean, super-hot geothermal energy. The project, which would be ...

Dec. 4 (UPI) --The traditional model of volcanic eruptions is wrong, according to new research. Volcanoes aren't fueled by a large chamber of molten magma, scientists found -- they're fed by ...
