The Axial Seamount is predicted to erupt in 2025, presenting a rare opportunity for scientists to test their models—tools that hold the potential to save lives.

Axial Seamount doesn’t pose a threat to humans ... and strengthen predictions Elizabeth Gamillo Correspondent A map of bathymetry—or underwater topography—of Axial Seamount, an active ...

Until recently, the instruments used to study underwater volcanoes lacked sufficient resolution to fully map magma chambers. As scientists seek to predict the Axial Seamount's next eruption ...

Axial Seamount sits under the Pacific Ocean about 300 miles from ... Zumberge and others draw on a network of sensors that map every tremor and change in ground tilt. “At Axial, we don’t have to worry ...

Axial Seamount sits less than 300 miles away from ... which lacked the resolution to map finer details. In their new study, researchers used full waveform inversion (FWI), a cutting-edge seismic ...

This has likely led to more accurate prediction. Advert A 3-D bathymetric seafloor map of Axial Seamount in July 2014 shows lava flows from previous eruptions. Red indicates lava at the highest ...
