The outgoing Editor-in-Chief of JGR: Solid Earth reflects on their tenure and expresses appreciation to all those who contributed to the success of the journal over recent years.
One of the counties most at risk from coastal erosion will provide the location for a technologically advanced pilot study to better understand and pred.
The eruption is currently not threatening nearby communities, but this could change at any second, as lava has already been seen erupting from the summit.
"If the vents should migrate to rift zones outside of the caldera, then voluminous lava flows could threaten towns on the island," scientist Jessica Johnson told Newsweek.
The region of Southeast Asia has a complicated geological history in one of the most tectonically active regions of our planet. This complexity derives from the fact that Southeast Asia is situated at the junction of four major tectonic plates (Eurasian, Indian–Australian, Pacific, and Philippine Sea) with a few smaller microplates, and therefore its geological evolution is strongly related to diverse plate tectonic activity. In addition to this complexity, Southeast Asia includes unexplored areas with extensive rainforests and restricted accessibility, which explains why it is generally understudied compared to other regions on Earth.A primary emerging interest in unravelling the geological mysteries of Southeast Asia derives from its extreme geo-diversity. The morphological highlands of Myanmar and Thailand, as well as the valleys and lowlands of Borneo, are surrounded by some of the highest mountains on Earth (e.g., Himalayas, Karakoram, Tibet), and coexist with some fascinating g
