New seismic research reveals that the world's largest volcanic outpouring didn't just create a plateau, but fundamentally reprocessed the oceanic plate beneath it.

Scientists are deploying autonomous drone technology to measure volcanic gas plumes, providing a safer alternative to traditional ground-based monitoring. These advancements aim to strengthen early-warning systems for volcanoes like Mount Etna.

Analysis of ancient volcanic rocks in Western Australia suggests a primitive water-recycling process called 'dripduction' was active long before plate tectonics.
