A breakthrough study has provided the most detailed 3D look yet at the inner workings of the Tonga Subduction Zone, where ...

The Ring of Fire is one of the most iconic geological features in the world. Stretching some 40,000 km along the Pacific Ocean, it is home to 75 per cent of the Earth’s volcanoes and 90 per cent of ...

International scientists reveal that magma transports gold from the mantle to the surface by means of a sulfur complex.

A subduction zone is created where two plates converge, with one sinking into the mantle. Dynamics along the plate interface create earthquakes, magma generated above the sinking slab leads to ...

Subduction zones are "characterized by intense geological ... (The Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire is where the majority of Earth's volcanoes and earthquakes take place.) "Studying Gibraltar is ...

Located in the Tonga-Kermadec subduction zone, Home Reef is at the heart of one of the most active regions on the planet in terms of volcanism. This zone, where three tectonic plates meet, is known ...

I use a combination of igneous petrology, high temperature and pressure experimental , thermodynamics and field geology to address the fundamental problem of how volcanoes work. Of particular interest ...
