Hawaii's active volcano has produced dozens of lava-fountain episodes since late 2024, giving scientists a closer look at how ...

Scientists used the precisely recorded 79 CE eruption of Mount Vesuvius to recalibrate argon-argon dating, reducing uncertainty for a nearly 2,000-year-old volcanic event to just 13 years. The new ...

Mount Vesuvius’ famous 79 CE eruption has given scientists a remarkably precise benchmark for dating events deep in Earth’s past. The improved technique could sharpen the timelines of volcanic ...
