(AP) -- Alaskans can put away their dust masks and spare air filters, for now, because Mount Redoubt seems to have cooled off since its last major eruption nearly three months ago. http://www.physorg.com/news165641574.html Space & Earth Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:56:07 EST news165641574 (AP) -- Alaska's Mount Redoubt continued to erupt Saturday, sending plumes of ash tens of thousands of feet into the air that rained down on at least one Alaska town http://www.physorg.com/news157533324.html Space & Earth Sun, 29 Mar 2009 08:16:02 EST news157533324 (AP) -- Alaska's Mount Redoubt erupted at least twice Wednesday as officials from a pipeline company assessed conditions at a nearby oil storage facility to determine whether to remove its contents. http://www.physorg.com/news157230441.html Space & Earth Wed, 25 Mar 2009 20:08:02 EST news157230441 (AP) -- New tremors at Alaska's Mount Redoubt are prompting speculation that the volcano could be in a phase that will lead to more instability. The 10,200-foot volcano erupted six times Sunday and Monday, spewing clouds of gritty ash high into the sky. http://www.physorg.com/news157131803.html Space & Earth Tue, 24 Mar 2009 16:43:51 EST news157131803 (AP) -- Alaska's Mount Redoubt volcano erupted five times overnight, sending an ash plume more than 9 miles into the air in the volcano's first emissions in nearly 20 years. http://www.physorg.com/news157032733.html Space & Earth Mon, 23 Mar 2009 13:12:53 EST news157032733 (PhysOrg.com) -- Nyiragongo, an active African volcano, possesses lava unlike any other in the world, which may point toward its source being a new mantle plume says a University of Rochester geochemist. The lava composition indicates that a mantle plume -an upwelling of intense heat from near the core of the Earth -may be bubbling to life beneath the soil of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The findings are presented in the current issue of the journal Chemical Geology. http://www.physorg.com/news156161448.html Space & Earth Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:11:28 EST news156161448 (PhysOrg.com) -- On the nanoscale, things aren`t always what they seem. What first looked like a continuous plasma jet has turned out to be a train of tiny, high-velocity plasma bullets. Using a camera with an exposure time of a few nanoseconds, researchers have further investigated the plasma bullets, and have even found a way to control them. http://www.physorg.com/news154951518.html Physics Fri, 27 Feb 2009 10:07:38 EST news154951518 The geysers of Yellowstone National Park owe their eistence to the "Yellowstone hotspot"--a region of molten rock buried deep beneath Yellowstone, geologists have found. But how hot is this "hotspot," and what's causing it? http://www.physorg.com/news139071134.html Space & Earth Wed, 27 Aug 2008 15:52:14 EST news139071134 Engineering teams are conducting final checkouts of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, known as LCROSS, that will take a significant step forward in the search for water on the moon. http://www.physorg.com/news133623655.html Space & Earth Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:40:55 EST news133623655
