Lava entered the ocean from a third flow, marking the third week of a Hawaii volcano eruption that has opened up nearly two dozen vents in rural communities, destroyed dozens of buildings and shot miles-high plumes of ash into the sky. Lowlavafountains were erupting from a nearly continuous ...
Assistant Professor of Geochemistry Sujoy Mukhopadhyay looks at rock fragments in the lab. Staff photo Jon Chase/Harvard News Office Researchers at Harvard and the University of Hawaii believe they’ve resolved a long-standing controversy over the roots of islands — volcanoes in the middle of tect...
The kinetics of crystallization of basalt glass from Kilauea, Hawaii, was investigated to derive time and temperature dependence of growth rates, and to relate these results to crystallization characteristics that develop during in-place cooling of lava and isothermal re-heating in the lab. The ...
Lake Mývatn northern Iceland. The caves in the Vindbelgur area (V) are clustered into western and eastern locations (W = west; E = east) while those in Haganes (H) can be subdivided into northern, central and southern clusters of caves (N = ...
Volcanoes represent one of the largest natural sources of metals to the Earth’s surface. Emissions of these metals can have important impacts on the biosphere as pollutants or nutrients. Here we use ground- and drone-based direct measurements to compare the gas and particulate chemistry of the ...
Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is among the world's most active volcanoes, with a persistent lava lake as one of its defining features. In a talk at the 2018 SSA Annual Meeting, Adrien Oth of the European Center for Geodynamics and Se
The Lab for Architecture is an Internet based information service for Architecture. It was initiated by students of The University of Technology in Eindhoven in 1993. LAVA has three important objectives. 1) Providing pointers to interesting information about architecture. 2) Providing new information ...
(TOP TO BOTTOM) USGS/POLARIS/NEWSCOM; ALAN CRESSLER/FLICKRLast year, when the simmering Kilauea volcano had its most violent eruption in decades, massive molten rivers of lava slithered across a corner of the Big Island of Hawaii, swallowing up roads and parked cars, houses and meadows, even...

Lev's journey to Pahoa began at a lab at New York's Syracuse University, where she and colleagues have been trying to understand how things work in nature by making their own artificial lava flows. They get chunks of basalt—the rock formed when lava hardens—and feed it into a furnace....
