Volcanic eruptions have periodically cooled the tropics over at least the past 450 years by spewing out particles that girdle the world at high altitude and reflect sunlight, according to a study released on Sunday.The research adds a chunk of regional evidence to earlier work that found major eruptions - such as Krakatoa, Indonesia in 1883 and Huaynaputina, Peru in 1600 - contribute to cooling on
I recently found this while surfing the web for a good map of Tenerife. The map legend explains all the specific danger zones in tenerife, a volcanic island here in the Atlantic ocean.
What are the secrets of a volcanic eruption? A few hundred courageous scientists around the world are trying to figure out the answers, often at great personal risk.
One of them, geologist Michael Ramsey, has spent 12 years investigating volcanic behavior, and is now using thermal infrared technology and data from NASA and weather satellites to determine when and how violently volcanoes will

Of all the bits of vaporware out there that never seem to get any closer to reality, the DiMora has to be one of our favorites. The sheer ambition of it all involves independently developing and producing a $2 million super-sedan that would, we're sure, make the likes of Bugatti and Maybach seem downright ordinary. But first it would have to actually get built, and all we've seen to date are compu
The Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park covers some 800 square kilometers in the centre of East Java. It is the largest volcanic region in the province and there stands Mt. Semeru, which rises 3676 meters above sea level. At its northern end is the spectacular Tengger Caldera, Java's largest, with its 10 km barren desert-like sea of sand. Within the caldera rise the deeply fissured volcanic con
Washington, June 6 (ANI): A scientist has hypothesized that macro-scale chemical engineering might be used to stop a volcanic lava flow in its tracks and save potentially thousands of lives and homes when the next eruption occurs.
The scientist who has come up with this idea is R.D. Schuiling of Geochem Research BV, based in The [...]

AFP - A thick cloud of ash from the erupting Chaiten volcano in southern Chile spread across a swath of South America Wednesday, prompting fears of health crisis for the people caught in its wake.
AP - For eight years, Tony and Sam Bayaoa have grown thousands of bright red, yellow and pink protea flowers on their farm. Then last month, Kilauea volcano opened a new vent and began spewing double the usual amount of toxic gas.
Lake Toba is a volcanic lake with the size wide approximately 100km x 30 km in North Sumatra, Sumatra, Indonesia. In the middle of this lake there also a volcanic island called Island Samosir that make this lake more unique. Fresh and cold atmosphere, charming and beautiful view, with mountain encircling make it wonderful.Lake Toba became of important tour target in North Sumatra besides Hill Lawang and Nias, attract domestic tourist and also from abroad. It’s very easy to reach this place, from Medan you can go to Parapat in less then 4 hours. Parapat location is about 185 kilometer from North Sumatra Capital city. It is a suburb area in Lake Toba. There are so many lodgings and hotels in Parapat, some of them have provided swimming pool facility and jacuzzi.Besides the natural beauty
Oahu, a volcanic islandOahu is an example of a volcanic island. Volcanoes which were active long ago have been worn down and cut into valleys and ridges and are now represented by the Koolau Range and the Waianae Mountains. Diamond Head, Punchbowl, and Koko Head are volcanoes which were active such a short time ago that their original. form has not been much changed. The mountains reach a height sufficient to check the moistureladen trade winds, thus producing a fairly heavy rainfall on the windward side; but they are not high enough or continuous enough to prevent winds and rain from coming to the leeward side at Honolulu, Pearl Harbor, and Ewa. The valleys are broad enough to serve as fields for taro, and the small streams which run in most of them supply water enough for necessary irrigation. Near the seashore are groves of coconuts, and in the valleys and on the ridges at different elevations are the native trees and shrubs -- the hau, the ohia, the kukui, the koa,pandanus, and oth
A series of monumental volcanic eruptions in India may have killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, not a meteor impact in the Gulf of Mexico. The eruptions, according to a press release by EurekAlert, which created the gigantic Deccan Traps lava beds of India, are now the prime suspect in the most famous and persistent paleontological murder mystery, say scientists who have conducted a slew of new investigations honing down eruption timing."It's the first time we can directly link the main phase of the Deccan Traps to the mass extinction," said Princeton University paleontologist Gerta Keller. The main phase of the Deccan eruptions spewed 80 percent of the lava which spread out for hundreds of miles. It is calculated to have released ten times more climate altering gases into the atmosphere than the nearly concurrent Chicxulub meteor impact, according to volcanologist Vincent Courtillot from the Physique du Globe de Paris.Keller's crucial link between the eruption and the mass ex

The best time to visit the lake during the summer hiking season of May-October is in May, June or October and always early in the morning before the clouds have formed.AccessMount Zao is in the Zao Quasi-National Park.Zao Sky CableTel: 0236 949 420Take the Zao Sky Cable from Zao Onsen Ski Resort.There are also buses from Zao Onsen and Shiroishi.Book a hotel in Japan with BookingsJapanese FictionJapan Book Shop Amazon UKHappi CoatsTagsJapan Tohoku Zao Yamagata volcano
You may wonder what my sudden fascination with volcanic eruptions are all about. Well, I will tell you this much ... it has a direct bearing on human overpopulation, in many more ways than one (including the proliferation of earthquakes and other drastic climate changes).Not only are we the main cause of "global warming" but our actual "mass" (yes -our cumulative weight) is seriously affecting the dynamics of the Earth's crust - causing pressure points and unbearable strains which ultimately lead to disturbances in the tectonic plates --> leading to earthquakes --> leading to volcanic eruptions, etc. and so an ever widening "cycle" of destruction is created. This is only one aspect of our "western" civilization and its affects on the natural world. I will go into more detail and more explanations about this particular subject in a future post.For now I want to share with you information about the effects of Volcanic eruptions on climate, and why it is important to pay heed to these se
An earthquake that killed more than 70 people in western Indonesia may have led to heightened activity at three volcanoes, experts warned Friday, as thousands flocked to perform weekly prayers at mosques damaged by the temblor. "We should see the quake as a test for all of us ... and redeem ourselves by doing good deeds," said Muhammad Thantawi, a preacher told worshippers gathered outside a destroyed mosque close to Solok city on Sumatra island's western coast.Geologists said sensors on the slopes of three active volcanoes — Talang, Tandikat and Merapi — have detected above average activity since the 6.3 magnitude temblor, which was also lightly felt in Singapore and Malaysia.

Amid 70-mile-an-hour winds and freezing Antarctic conditions, an American-Argentine research team has recovered the well-preserved fossil skeleton of a juvenile plesiosaur (general info) --a marine reptile that swam the waters of the Southern Ocean roughly 70 million years ago.
The fossil remains represent one of the most-complete plesiosaur skeletons ever found and is thought to be the best-articulated fossil skeleton ever recovered from Antarctica. The creature would have inhabited Antarctic waters during a period when the Earth and oceans were far warmer than they are today.
James E. Martin (homepage), curator of vertebrate paleontology and coordinator of the paleontology program at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology's Museum of Geology, announced today the plesiosaur bones will be unveiled at the museum on December 13, 2006.
The long-necked, diamond-finned plesiosaurs are probably most familiar as the legendary inhabitants of Scotland's Loch Ness*, although scientifi
