Scientists Persuade Volcanoes to Tell Their Stories


Scientists from Trinity College Dublin have discovered how to prise volcanic secrets from magma crystals. These secrets include details of volcanic history, which explain global geography and the causes of past eruptions. The scientists hope that their discovery will help to better predict future eruptions of active volcanoes.
