More great news about climate change: It's also causing more volcanic eruptions
As global temperatures increase because of climate change, glaciers around the world are melting —contributing to rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, and habitat loss for all sorts of species. But scientists have recently identified another explosive consequence from this disappearing ice: Melting glaciers may lead to more frequent, and more damaging, volcanic eruptions. Those volcanic eruptions could then cause even more climate impacts by spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which will then melt more glaciers. Though individual volcanic eruptions may temporarily cool global temperatures (by releasing aerosols that reflect the sun away from the Earth's surface), multiple, consecutive volcanic eruptions can actually contribute to global warming. 'This creates a positive feedback loop, where melting glaciers trigger eruptions, and the eruptions in turn could contribute to further warming and melting,' Pablo Moreno-Yaeger, a University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher, said in a statement. Moreno-Yaeger presented his team's findings at the geochemistry Goldschmidt Conference in Prague this week; a peer-reviewed paper on the research is forthcoming. Melting glaciers increase volcanic activity because of the way they sit over stores of magma underground. When ice sheets melt and glaciers retreat, it releases the pressure on those magma chambers, making it easier for the magma to break through the surface in a volcanic eruption. That process has already been observed in Iceland, but the new study looking at volcanoes in Chile is one of the first to show how the phenomenon played out at the end of the last ice age. The last ice age peaked around 26,000 to 18,000 years ago, and the thick layer of ice over the planet then suppressed volcanic eruptions. That led a reservoir of magma to build up below the surface. When the ice sheets melted, the loss of all that heavy ice released the pressure over the magma, making the gases in the magma expand so that they erupted from the Earth's surface—like popping the top of a soda can. For the study, the researchers, with funding from the National Science Foundation, looked at rocks around six volcanoes in the Chilean Andes. They were able to date previous volcanic eruptions and analyze the chemistry of these rocks to track how volcanic explosions increased as glacial ice melted. 'The key requirement for increased explosivity is initially having a very thick glacial coverage over a magma chamber, and the trigger point is when these glaciers start to retreat, releasing pressure,' Moreno-Yaeger explains. This activity is currently happening in places like Antarctica, where more than 100 volcanoes sit below the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. The entire Antarctic Ice Sheet covers an area larger than the U.S. and Mexico combined. Climate change, fueled by the burning of fossil fuels, is already causing Antarctic ice to melt more quickly than it can be replaced—and at a rate six times faster than it was melting in the 1990s. The West Antarctic Ice sheet specifically is the 'frontier of dramatic ice loss in Antarctica,' and one of the most rapidly changing ice sheets on the planet, according to the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition. It's not just Antarctica that could see more volcanic eruptions because of melting ice. The researchers say scientists should monitor parts of North America, New Zealand, and Russia for this risk as well. The impact isn't immediate, though; in the Chilean Andes, the volcanic eruptions lagged a few thousand years behind the melting glaciers. But the researchers warn that different volcanoes, made up of different minerals, could respond to this change over a different amount of time. And it's not the only climate impact that could be increasing volcanic activity. Previous research has found that more extreme, heavy rain—which is also increasing because of climate change —could trigger eruptions. And once those eruptions increase, they create a feedback loop that causes even more warming and rain.

Melting glaciers could make volcanic eruptions more explosive, scientists warn
Dormant volcanoes across the Earth could become more active and erupt more violently as the climate crisis accelerates glacier retreat, scientists warn in a new study. The research, presented on Tuesday at the Goldschmidt Conference in Prague, assessed six volcanoes in the Chilean Andes and found evidence that rapidly melting glaciers across the planet could set the stage for more explosive and frequent volcanic eruptions. A link between retreating glaciers and an increase in volcanic activity has been known since the 1970s from studies conducted in Iceland. However, the latest research is one of the first to establish this association in continental volcanic systems. 'Our study suggests this phenomenon isn't limited to Iceland, where increased volcanicity has been observed, but could also occur in Antarctica,' said volcanologist Pablo Moreno-Yaeger from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 'Other continental regions, like parts of North America, New Zealand and Russia, also now warrant closer scientific attention,' Dr Moreno-Yaeger said. The latest findings could help scientists better predict volcanic activity in glacier-covered regions. In the study, researchers conducted crystal analysis across six volcanoes in southern Chile, including the now dormant Mocho-Choshuenco volcano. They assessed how the advance and retreat of the Patagonian Ice Sheet influenced past volcanic behaviour in the region. The analysis of crystals found at these sites helped precisely date previous volcanic eruptions. It also helped determine how the weight and pressure of glacial ice change the characteristics of magma underground. Scientists found that during the peak of the last ice age – around 26,000–18,000 years ago – thick ice cover suppressed the volume of eruptions and allowed a large reservoir of silica-rich magma to accumulate 10-15 km below the surface. Then, as the thick ice sheet melted rapidly at the end of the last ice age, the sudden loss of weight caused the crust to relax, and gases in the magma to expand, according to the yet-to-be peer-reviewed study. As pressure built up from underneath, it triggered explosive eruptions, causing the volcano to form, researchers found. 'Glaciers tend to suppress the volume of eruptions from the volcanoes beneath them. But as glaciers retreat due to climate change, our findings suggest these volcanoes go on to erupt more frequently and more explosively,' said Dr Moreno-Yaeger. 'The key requirement for increased explosivity is initially having a very thick glacial coverage over a magma chamber, and the trigger point is when these glaciers start to retreat, releasing pressure, which is currently happening in places like Antarctica,' he added. While glacier melting could be happening currently at unprecedented rates due to global warming, researchers say the process of changes in the magma system due to this happens over centuries, giving some time for monitoring and early warning.

Scientists warn hundreds of dormant volcanoes could soon erupt – with explosions more powerful than ever
A volcano in the throes of eruption truly is a force of nature. Molten rock, ash and gases from deep within the Earth's mantle find their way up to the surface and either flow slowly out of a fissure or explode suddenly into the air. In recent years there have been a number of high-profile eruptions, including ones in Italy and Indonesia. Now, experts are warning that hundreds of dormant volcanoes around the world will likely become more active and erupt thanks to climate change. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the USA said melting glaciers could be silently setting the stage for more explosive and more frequent eruptions in the future. And areas such as North America, New Zealand and Russia could be at risk, they said. 'Glaciers tend to suppress the volume of eruptions from the volcanoes beneath them,' Pablo Moreno-Yaeger, one of the study's authors, explained. 'But as glaciers retreat due to climate change, our findings suggest these volcanoes go on to erupt more frequently and more explosively.' His team used argon dating and crystal analysis across six volcanoes in southern Chile, including the now dormant Mocho-Choshuenco volcano, to investigate how the Patagonian Ice Sheet's advance and retreat influenced past volcanic behaviour. By precisely dating previous eruptions and analysing crystals in erupted rocks, the team tracked how the weight and pressure of glacial ice altered the characteristics of magma underground. They discovered that during the peak of the last ice age – around 26,000-18,000 years ago – thick ice cover suppressed the volume of eruptions and allowed a large reservoir of magma to accumulate up to 15km below the surface. But as the ice sheet melted rapidly at the end of the last ice age, the sudden loss of weight caused the Earth's crust to 'relax' and gasses in the magma to expand. This buildup of pressure triggered explosive volcanic eruptions from the deep reservoir. 'The key requirement for increased explosivity is initially having a very thick glacial coverage over a magma chamber, and the trigger point is when these glaciers start to retreat, releasing pressure – which is currently happening in places like Antarctica,' Mr Moreno-Yaeger said. 'Our study suggests this phenomenon isn't limited to Iceland, where increased volcanicity has been observed. 'Other continental regions, like parts of North America, New Zealand and Russia, also now warrant closer scientific attention.' The researchers explained that increased volcanic activity could have global climate impacts. In the short term, eruptions release aerosol that can temporarily cool the planet, as seen after the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, which reduced global temperatures by around 0.5°C. However, with multiple eruptions, the effects reverse. 'Over time the cumulative effect of multiple eruptions can contribute to long-term global warming because of a buildup of greenhouse gases,' Mr Moreno-Yaeger said. 'This creates a positive feedback loop, where melting glaciers trigger eruptions, and the eruptions in turn could contribute to further warming and melting.' The research was presented at the Goldschmidt Conference in Prague. HOW CAN RESEARCHERS PREDICT VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS? According to Eric Dunham, an associate professor of Stanford University's School of Earth, energy and Environmental Sciences, 'Volcanoes are complicated and there is currently no universally applicable means of predicting eruption. In all likelihood, there never will be.' However, there are indicators of increased volcanic activity, which researchers can use to help predict volcanic eruptions. Researchers can track indicators such as: Volcanic infrasound: When the lava lake rises up in the crater of an open vent volcano, a sign of a potential eruption, the pitch or frequency of the sounds generated by the magma tends to increase. Seismic activity: Ahead of an eruption, seismic activity in the form of small earthquakes and tremors almost always increases as magma moves through the volcano's 'plumbing system'. Gas emissions: As magma nears the surface and pressure decreases, gases escape. Sulfur dioxide is one of the main components of volcanic gases, and increasing amounts of it are a sign of increasing amounts of magma near the surface of a volcano. Ground deformation: Changes to a volcano's ground surface (volcano deformation) appear as swelling, sinking, or cracking, which can be caused by magma, gas, or other fluids (usually water) moving underground or by movements in the Earth's crust due to motion along fault lines. Swelling of a volcano cans signal that magma has accumulated near the surface.
