This pressure means that melting ice can expedite the onset of an eruption from a subglacial volcano. Eruptions of subglacial volcanoes may not be visible on the surface, but they can have ...
The implications of this research extendbeyond Antarctica. The heat from subglacial eruptions could destabilize the continent’s ice sheets, contributing to more rapid and unpredictable sea-level ...
Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more ...
In the event of a subglacial eruption, there is a risk of an ash eruption and subglacial flooding from under Vatnajokull. If an eruption were to occur outside the glacier, it would be a lava ...
