How Glaciers Could Warn Us of Impending Volcanic Eruptions
"Glacier velocity could be a valuable new technique for monitoring volcanic activity," researcher Joseph Mallalieu said.
World's largest active volcano Mauna Loa showed telltale warning signs before erupting in 2022
The last time Mauna Loa erupted was in 1984. Most of the U.S. volcanoes that scientists consider to be active are found in Hawaii, Alaska and the West Coast. Worldwide, around 585 volcanoes are considered active. Scientists can't predict eruptions ...
Mauna Loa Showed Telltale Warning Signs Before Erupting In 2022
That happened two years ago with the world’s largest active volcano. About two months before Mauna Loa spewed rivers of glowing orange molten lava, geologists detected small earthquakes nearby and other signs, and they warned residents on the Big Island.

New study finds Maunaloa showed telltale warning signs before 2022 eruption
About two months before Maunaloa spewed lava, geologists detected small earthquakes nearby and other signals. Now a study of the volcano’s lava confirms that molten rock within Earth's crust was rising upward about 70 days before the eruption in late November 2022.
