Scientists in Iceland are aiming to drill 1.3 miles into the earth's crust to a volcano's magma chamber in order to source huge amounts of geothermal energy.

The magma reservoir beneath Yellowstone volcano consists of two chambers — a shallow reservoir near the surface that's around 55 miles (90 kilometers) long and 25 miles (40 km) wide, and a ...

Scientists in Iceland want to drill straight into an underground magma chamber. The project could offer clues about how volcanoes work, as well as create geothermal energy. The biggest hurdles are ...

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 ...

For decades, scientists believed that magma chambers beneath volcanoes were transient, forming before an eruption and then ...

For over a century, the concept of a shallow magma chamber—a large magma-filled cavity just ~5 km under the base of a volcano—has been the foundation for igneous petrology and volcanology.

World's first tunnel to a magma chamber could unleash unlimited energy. In Iceland, scientists are planning to drill two boreholes to a reservoir of liquid rock.

Results of modeled pressure changes in magma chamber in response to different rates of ice mass unloading and the equivalent ...

These were used to identify a large magma chamber that has been growing at an average rate of roughly 4 million cubic meters per year since Kolumbo's last eruption in 1650 C.E.

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 ...
