These ancient buried "super-continents"—known to scientists as large low-seismic-velocity provinces (LLSVPs)—were found ...

A detailed look at Yellowstone's magma storage system finds that only one region is likely to host liquid magma in the long ...

A number of studies have given us fascinating images showing Yellowstone’s magma reservoirs. But how are those images created ...

Sanne Cottaar is Professor of Global Seismology in Earth Sciences. She wants to understand Earth’s inner structure: how it ...

It is fed by the "Yellowstone Hotspot," where hot plumes of magma rise from deep within the Earth's mantle. In the last 2.1 million years, the complex has undergone three major caldera-forming ...

The surveys, beyond revealing Yellowstone's inability to host an eruption today, showed that the most primitive magma flowing up from Earth's mantle to Yellowstone connects directly to a reservoir ...

As one plate slips beneath its neighbor, volcanic activity can move magma from Earth’s mantle — the geologic layer that sits between Earth’s hot core and its crust — upward. Usually ...

A new study reveals that Hawai‘i’s two most active volcanoes, Kīlauea and Maunaloa, share the same source of magma deep within the Earth. For years, scientists believed these volcanoes had completely ...
