When massive volcanic eruptions occur, they inject millions of tons of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, where it forms sulfate aerosols that scatter incoming solar radiation and result in global ...

Life on a volcanic isle appears to give barn owls a blush of red-brown plumage. The high-sulfur environment on such islands influences the birds’ coloration, researchers report March 13 in the Journal ...

The processes that haul gold up to the surface from deep within Earth's mantle rely on the sulfur that bubbles beneath active volcanoes. Two new papers have agreed that some forms of sulfur form ...

Non-erupting volcanoes leak a surprisingly high amount of sulfur-containing gases. A Greenland ice core shows that volcanoes quietly release at least three times as much sulfur into the Arctic ...

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) on Wednesday logged over 6,500 tonnes of volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission from the Mayon Volcano, the highest SO2 emission ...
