| A deep-sea magma monster, Axial Seamount, gets a body scan | “A significant fraction of Earth’s volcanism happens at places like Axial,” said Rubin, referring to the mid-oceanic ridges, which collectively represent a spine of volcanism stretching about 40,000 miles around the world. But it won’t be a breeze to finish this work. Years of processing… |

| Gigantic Pumice Raft from Underwater Eruption Is on a Wild Ride Across the Pacific Ocean | “We know so little about the seafloor,” said Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, a seismologist and volcanologist at Western Washington University. It’s often said that 70 or 80 percent of the world’s volcanism happens on the seafloor, but this number is sketchy guesstimate, Caplan-Auerbach said. We… |

| Is It GOOD or BAD to Use a Dynamite-Triggered Avalanche for an Apple Ad? We Asked Scientists | Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, a geologist at Western Washington University who studies the seismic signals produced by landslides and avalanches, told Motherboard in an email that the footage of the controlled avalanche didn't bother her as much as other sequences in the behind-the-scenes video.… |

| Scientists Witness the Birth of a Submarine Volcano for the First Time | Back on November 11, 2018, a planetwide rumble emanated from somewhere between eastern Africa and Madagascar. This strange signal, thought by scientists at the time to be related to a colossal but hard-to-identify magmatic process, was pinpointed to have come from 30 miles east of the… |

| Kilauea could erupt again after peace and quiet, claims expert | But there is still activity at the Hawaii volcano and on Sunday morning UK time geologists recorded powerful magnitude 4.2 quakes at Kilauea. The US Geological Survey (USGS) recorded the earthquake at a distance of 12 miles southeast of Kilauea and at a depth of more than three miles.… |

| A prolific vent in a Hawaii volcano blew for 35 years. It has just stopped | Around that time, in the same place - the spring of 1995, at the end of Chain of Craters Road - a Yale physics-and-English graduate was pondering where to do her postgraduate study. Kilauea sold her on the spot. Today Jackie Caplan-Auerbach is a geology professor at Western… |
