A college student who pinpointed the depth of Kilauea Volcano’s magma chamber says the finding could lead to better predictions of eruptions. "Hawaii was already unique among volcanic systems, because ...

What’s more nerve-wracking than climbing an active volcano? Climbing it with kilos of delicate equipment, knowing that a single eruption could send both scientists and sensors hurtling downhill. Over ...
