Underwater Network gives scientists a rare glimpse into deep-sea volcanoes - marc / berkeley - 12-15-2016 Underwater network gives scientists a rare glimpse into deep-sea volcanoes By Julia Rosen Dec. 15, 2016 Most volcanic eruptions on Earth happen in a hidden, dark place: deep underwater. Scientists rarely detect these outbursts on the sea floor, but last year, they caught a seamount eruption in the act. Now, researchers have characterized it in unprecedented detail—showing how a rash of earthquakes preceded the eruption and how bulging of the volcano’s surface was used to successfully forecast the eruption. Scientists say the results will help them understand how other volcanoes around the world behave. ( Article Link )
