Earth is a volatile-rich planet. Volatile elements have played an important role in the geological evolution of Earth and were also responsible for creating habitable environments, where life could evolve […]
Stony Brook University has an opening for a Ph.D. student interested in experimentally investigating the interaction of volcanic gas and martian surface materials and assessing the IR spectral signature of […]
Three massive volcanic eruptions occurred on Jupiter’s moon Io within a two-week period in August of last year. This led astronomers to speculate that such “outbursts,” which can send material […]
