Researchers used seismic tomography to reveal that fluid buildup, not magma, is driving Uturuncu’s deformation, indicating ...

In spite of being technically dead, with its last eruption 250,000 years ago, the Uturuncu volcano continues to eject plumes ...

The likelihood of an imminent eruption at Bolivia’s “zombie” volcano remains low despite recent rumbling, according to a new study that sheds more light on its strange internal activity.

High in the Central Andes, a geological enigma lies dormant. Uturuncu volcano in Bolivia hasn’t erupted in over 250,000 years. It is also known as a “zombie” volcano because it still ...

Uturuncu, a dormant volcano in Bolivia, appeared to be getting ready to erupt following earthquakes and "sombrero" shaped deformation — scientists have now worked out what's going on beneath the ...

Does seismic activity under this long-dead volcano mean it’s about to rise from the grave? That’s what an international research team set out to discover as this Bolivian “zombie” volcano continues to ...

Deep in the Central Andes lies Uturuncu, Bolivia's "zombie" volcano—so-called because, despite being technically dead (last erupting 250 thousand years ago), it still shows signs of unrest ...

A team of physicists and engineers affiliated with several institutions in China has developed a new kind of small, highly sensitive gravimeter that can operate stably at room temperature.

There’s a new entrant in the competition to develop ever-tinier instruments that can detect changes in our planet’s gravitational field — a tabletop device roughly the size of two smartphone ...
