Open AccessHazardous explosive eruptions of a recharging multi-cyclic island arc caldera
Caldera-forming eruptions of silicic volcanic systems are among the most devastating events on Earth. By contrast, post-collapse volcanic activity initiating new caldera cycles is generally considered less haz...

Open AccessGiant offshore pumice deposit records a shallow submarine explosive eruption of ancestral Santorini
Large explosive volcanic eruptions from island arcs pour pyroclastic currents into marine basins, impacting ecosystems and generating tsunamis that threaten coastal communities and infrastructures. Risk assess...

Open AccessCascading events during the 1650 tsunamigenic eruption of Kolumbo volcano
Volcanic eruptions can trigger tsunamis, which may cause significant damage to coastal communities and infrastructure. Tsunami generation during volcanic eruptions is complex and often due to a combination of ...

Open AccessShallow-water hydrothermal venting linked to the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum
The Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a global warming event of 5–6 °C around 56 million years ago caused by input of carbon into the ocean and atmosphere. Hydrothermal venting of greenhouse gases p...

Open AccessRevised Minoan eruption volume as benchmark for large volcanic eruptions
Despite their global societal importance, the volumes of large-scale volcanic eruptions remain poorly constrained. Here, we integrate seismic reflection and P-wave tomography datasets with computed tomography-...

Open AccessRevised Storegga Slide reconstruction reveals two major submarine landslides 12,000 years apart
The Storegga Slide is the largest known exposed submarine landslide in the world, which triggered a tsunami that inundated the coasts of northern Europe ~8,150 years ago. Previous studies suggested the removal...

Volcanic-Island Lateral Collapses and Their Submarine Deposits
Landslide deposits offshore many volcanic islands provide evidence of catastrophic lateral collapses. These deposits span a larger volume range than their continental equivalents, and can generate devastating ...

Open AccessCombining 3D seismics, eyewitness accounts and numerical simulations to reconstruct the 1888 Ritter Island sector collapse and tsunami
The 1888 Ritter Island volcanic sector collapse triggered a regionally damaging tsunami. Historic eyewitness accounts allow the reconstruction of the arrival time, phase and height of the tsunami wave at multi...

Open AccessGlacigenic sedimentation pulses triggered post-glacial gas hydrate dissociation
Large amounts of methane are stored in continental margins as gas hydrates. They are stable under high pressure and low temperature, but react sensitively to environmental changes. Bottom water temperature and...

Heat flow in the southern Chile forearc controlled by large-scale tectonic processes
Between 33°S and 47°S, the southern Chile forearc is affected by the subduction of the aseismic Juan Fernandez Ridge, several major oceanic fracture zones on the subducting Nazca Plate, the active Chile Ridge ...
