“Volcanic activity has been shown to affect Earth’s climate in a myriad of ways,” the authors write. “One such example is ...

The study reveals that while Deccan Volcanism caused significant disasters for fauna, its effects on flora were only ...

A groundbreaking study by the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences (BSIP), an autonomous institute under the Department ...

Melting ice sheets are often considered synonymous with climate change in the media, with evocative images of lone polar ...

Beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet is a network of over a hundred volcanoes, located on an active volcanic fissure.

Deccan Volcanism, a major event of volcanic eruptions which occurred ~66 million years ago and led to mass extinctions of fauna, did not have such negative impact on tropical flora, says a new study.R ...

Venus and Earth, although they've taken two dramatically different climatic roads, are considered sibling planets. They're ...

But almost simultaneously, intense volcanism covered a vast area of the Indian subcontinent with over 2 kilometers-thick lava flows. Scientists have long debated if the impact or the volcanic ...

Most volcanism on Earth occurs beneath the oceans, but submarine volcanoes are difficult to study. Advances in seafloor monitoring have opened up an unprecedented view of eruptions on the seabed.

According to the volcanism hypothesis, this global-scale volcanic activity spewed so much gas, ash, and dust into the atmosphere that it kept sunlight from reaching Earth's surface. Temperature ...

This phase of active volcanism took place in a period just before the Earth was struck by a meteorite, 66 million years ago. The effect of these volcanic eruptions on the Earth’s climate has ...
