Cracking the code of active volcanoes

Cracking the code of active volcanoes Through the Horizon 2020-funded IMPROVE project, European scientists are deploying cutting-edge tools to reveal the hidden dynamics of Earth’s most powerful forces. Volcanoes are among the most dramatic and destructive natural phenomena on Earth. But while eruptions capture headlines, the real action begins deep below the surface, often months or years before any lava breaks through. Understanding what happens inside a volcano has long been one of geoscience’s most daunting challenges. Now, a team of researchers from across Europe is bringing new clarity to this underground world.
