this technique has been applied to other volcanoes such as Long Valley Caldera in California and Alaska's Akutan volcano.

New Jersey was once home to a fiery volcano roughly the size of Mount St. Helens – that sits in the same county as a newly mapped fault line. Rutan Hill, in Wantage, NJ, appears to be and is ...

Here’s hoping it’s nothing to blow your lid over. A normally quiet “high threat” volcano in Washington state has been rumbling at a record rate — prompting an alert from geologists who ...

Scientists are trying to establish what caused an unusual spike in earthquakes at the Mount Adams volcano in Washington state by installing multiple temporary seismic monitoring stations at the site.

Geologists are closely monitoring Washington’s largest volcano (and second tallest mountain), which hasn’t erupted since the Bronze Age. During the month of September, the United States ...

The earthquakes were monitored by the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory (CVO) and Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) and ranged in magnitudes from 0.9 to 2.0. None of the earthquakes were ...

Among the snow-capped volcanoes of the Pacific Northwest, Mount Adams gets relatively little love. There are more glamorous volcanoes to climb (Mount Rainier) or to ski (Mount Hood) or that have ...

That was reassuring, at least for the time being. The crater was formed when Askja, a volcano in Vatnajokull National Park in Iceland’s central highlands, uncorked in an explosive eruption in 1875.

Six low-intensity earthquakes rumbled beneath Mount Adams during September, according to the U.S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory. That’s an unusual amount of seismic activity at ...
