When the first results came in, we realised that we had literally struck gold!” declared Dr. Nils Messling, a geochemist at ...

In the study, published in Physics of Fluids, the researchers developed a new equation by integrating two distinct mathematical models of magma flow. The results show that P-wave velocity ...

Geologists turned to tiny bubbles to investigate the dynamics driving magma flow beneath Hawaii’s volcanoes as the country’s islands drift northwest on a tectonic plate. They found that, as the ...

However, magma’s crystals and bubbles make it more likely to behave as a non-Newtonian fluid whose viscosity decreases under greater stress (known ... Newtonian magma flow in dikes.

Hidden from sight, miles beneath the surface, scalding-hot rocks and churning magma chambers are the latest frontiers ... the company won’t be looking to flow up hot water or supercritical fluids ...

Changes in stress patterns can redirect magma flow to these new fractures," David Kitchen, an associate professor of geology at the University of Richmond, told Newsweek. According to the ...

In February, the volcanic complex near Grindavík, Iceland, erupted for the third time in 3 months. This image combines visible and near-infrared satellite observations from an altitude of about ...

The magma flow in November was also 100 times greater ... As these plates have slowly moved apart over the last eight centuries, "tectonic stress" built up that was a key driving force for magma ...

The magma flow was closer to those of larger rivers ... As these plates have slowly moved apart over the last eight centuries, "tectonic stress" built up that was a key driving force for magma ...

The study, which combined satellite-based geodetic observations and seismic measurements of the Sundhnúkur crater chain and physical modeling, shows how fracturing and tectonic stress can drive ...
